Suoh

Suoh is a romanization used for several terms in East Asian contexts. In Japanese history, it often refers to Suō Province (周防国), a former province in western Honshu. The area corresponds to parts of present-day Yamaguchi Prefecture and figures in medieval and early modern Japanese history. The province name survives mainly in historical writings and in the names of place features or institutions associated with the region.

Beyond historical geography, Suoh can function as a transliteration of personal names in Japanese and other East Asian languages. It may appear as a surname or given name, and as a character name in fiction, with the meaning informed by the kanji chosen by authors. Alternative spellings include Suō and Suo, reflecting different romanization systems.

In popular culture, characters named Suoh appear across various manga, anime, and video games. Because the name is used independently in multiple works, there is no single canonical bearer of the name. The term thus functions as a cross-context label rather than a single, unified subject.

Notes on usage suggest that readers distinguish Suoh from related spellings such as Suō or Suo, which may reflect different linguistic or regional origins. When identifying a specific Suoh, it is helpful to consider the context—historical geography, a personal name, or a fictional character—to avoid ambiguity.
