Yasaburō

Yasaburō is a traditional Japanese male given name. The name is formed from three kanji characters: 'Yasu' (安), meaning 'peace' or 'calm'; 'sa' (三), meaning 'three'; and 'burō' (郎), a common suffix for male names, often meaning 'son' or 'man'. The 'sa' (三) component specifically indicates the third son in a family, a common naming convention in historical Japan to denote birth order.

While the individual kanji have broader meanings, their combination in Yasaburō specifically points to the third son. Names incorporating numerical elements like 'ichirō' (first son), 'jirō' (second son), 'saburō' (third son), 'shirō' (fourth son), and 'gorō' (fifth son) were historically very common in Japan. While less prevalent in modern times, they still carry a sense of tradition and heritage.
