Itohs

Itohs is a surname of Japanese origin, most often written 伊藤 in kanji. In English-language contexts, Itohs is used to refer collectively to people bearing this surname; the singular form is Itoh, with common romanizations including Itō and Itou.

The surname Itoh (伊藤) is among the more common family names in Japan. The second character 藤 means wisteria, while 伊 serves as a phonetic component in many surnames; together they identify a family lineage. The name arose in multiple regions and has many independent lineages, rather than a single origin.

In Japan, Itohs are distributed across many prefectures, reflecting broad adoption over centuries. Outside Japan, bearers of the name appear in communities of Japanese descent, notably in Brazil, the United States, Canada, and Peru, among others, often as a result of waves of immigration in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Modern Itohs participate in a wide range of professions, including business, academia, arts, and sports, reflecting the broader distribution of Japanese families worldwide.
