Itsurō

Itsurō is a traditional Japanese male given name. The name is formed from the kanji 五 (itsu) meaning 'five' and 郎 (rō) meaning 'son'. This naming convention, often indicating birth order, was common in historical Japan, particularly for male children. Names ending in -rō (like Jirō for second son, Saburō for third son) were prevalent for many centuries.

While less common in modern Japan due to changing naming trends and a decrease in larger families, names like Itsurō still carry a sense of tradition and historical significance. The 'rō' suffix itself is an ancient component in Japanese male names, often associated with masculinity and respect.
