Itarō

Itarō is a traditional Japanese male given name. The 'Ita' (伊多, 偉太) component can have meanings such as 'great' or 'excellent,' while 'Tarō' (太郎) is a common suffix for the eldest son in a family, literally meaning 'great son' or 'first son.' This naming convention was historically very common in Japan, indicating birth order.

Names ending in -tarō, such as Ichirō (first son), Jirō (second son), Saburō (third son), etc., were widely used for centuries to denote the order of male children. While less common for newborns today, these names still carry a sense of tradition and respect for heritage. Itarō, specifically, combines a positive adjective with this traditional suffix.
