Jiro

Meaning of Jiro

The name Jiro (Japanese: 二郎, pronounced JEE-roh / dʑiːroʊ/) is born of the characters “ni” (two) and “rō” (son), a lyrical nod to the second-born’s quiet ascendancy in Japanese tradition. It drifts through memory like a lantern’s glow at dusk—unpretentious yet unwavering—evoking mist-clad pines, lacquered temples, and the studious precision of Horikoshi Jiro’s dream-forged aircraft. Rich in understated strength, Jiro balances humility with the latent confidence of a mountain breeze that reshapes clouds, promising each bearer a canvas on which to paint his own odyssey. Cool in its warmth and steeped in lineage, the name arrives without fanfare—though it bears a wry smile for those who prize dry wit—and unfolds like a poem whispered under ancient eaves, bridging past and promise with every syllable.
