Ryougo

Ryougo is a masculine Japanese given name. It is typically read as ryougo in romaji, reflecting the common Japanese syllables りょう (ryō) and ご (go). The name can also be romanized as Ryogo or Ryōgo, depending on the romanization system used. The exact pronunciation may vary with regional accents or specific kanji choices.

Etymology and possible kanji combinations vary, as with many Japanese names. The meaning of Ryougo depends on the kanji selected by the parents. Common examples include combinations such as 亮吾, where 亮 means bright and 吾 is an emphatic or personal pronoun, or 良悟, where 良 means good and 悟 conveys enlightenment or realization. Other kanji may be used to convey different nuances, so there is no single fixed meaning for the name.

Usage and cultural context: Ryougo is a conventional male given name in Japan. It appears across generations but is not among the most common names. Like many two-kanji names, its appeal often lies in both phonetic sound and the chosen symbolism of the kanji.

Notable people and fiction: There are individuals named Ryougo in Japan and among Japanese communities, but none are widely documented in English-language sources as globally prominent figures. The name also appears in Japanese fiction, where it may be assigned to male characters, reflecting its familiar and distinctly masculine sound in contemporary media.
