Hidesabur

Hidesabur is a romanized form of a Japanese masculine given name, typically rendered in proper romanization as Hidesaburō. The name is usually constructed from a first element such as Hide-, which can be represented by various kanji with meanings like “excellent,” “rise,” or “sun,” and a second element related to saburō (三郎), a common suffix in traditional male names meaning “third son.” The exact meaning therefore depends on the kanji chosen for the components.

The form Hidesabur, without the macron over the final o, reflects non-standard or historical romanization and is less common in contemporary usage. In modern Japanese, the name would usually be written with the long vowel indicated (Hidesaburō) in romanization, or with Japanese characters that convey a precise meaning.

Notable real-world examples of the exact spelling Hidesabur are rare in major English-language reference works. The name is closely related to the better-known Hidesaburō, as in the historical figure Hidesaburō Ueno, a Tokyo-based professor whose name appears in discussions surrounding the popular story of Hachikō. In fiction and translated works, spellings of Japanese names often vary, so Hidesabur can appear as a character name with different kanji renderings or romanization choices.
