Common elements used in such names include 洋 (ocean, western), 陽 (sun, positive), 次 (next), 司 (official), and 治 (to govern). Because kanji vary, there is no single standard meaning for Yohji.

Notable bearers of the name include Yohji Yamamoto (born 1943), a prominent Japanese fashion designer and founder of the label Yohji Yamamoto. The given name is used primarily in Japan, but may be found among people of Japanese descent abroad or in works of fiction.
