Ryogo

Ryogo is a masculine given name of Japanese origin. In Japanese, the name is typically pronounced with a long vowel in the first syllable, and in Latin script it is commonly rendered as Ryogo or Ryōgo. The spelling may vary in non-Japanese contexts, including Ryogo, Ryougo, or Ryōgo, depending on the transliteration system used.

The meaning of Ryogo is not fixed, because it can be written with different kanji characters. Japanese personal names can be composed from a variety of kanji, so the same pronunciation may carry different meanings. In general, the first element of the name and the second element can be selected to convey a range of notions, such as brightness, excellence, strength, or self, among other possibilities. The exact meaning thus depends on the specific characters chosen by the individual or their parents.

Ryogo is primarily used in Japan as a given name for males. It also appears in fiction and media as a character name, and may be encountered in non-Japanese works where authors adopt traditional Japanese naming conventions for characters. The name’s phonetic simplicity and cultural familiarity make it a plausible choice for writers when creating Japanese characters across genres.
