Yuto

Yuto is a unisex Japanese given name. The name is composed of two kanji characters: 遊 (yū) and 斗 (to). The character 遊 means "play" or "joy," while 斗 means "big dipper" or "measure." Together, Yuto can be interpreted as "one who plays with measure" or "one who enjoys the big dipper." The name has been used since the Nara period and has been popular in Japan for several decades. It is often associated with qualities such as creativity, curiosity, and a sense of adventure. Yuto has been used as a given name for both males and females in Japan, although it is more commonly used for males. The name has also gained some popularity in other countries, particularly in English-speaking regions, where it is often used as a unisex name. Despite its relatively recent rise in popularity, Yuto remains a unique and distinctive name with a rich cultural history.
