Nezuko
Meaning of Nezuko
Nezuko is a melodic Japanese name that can mean “root child” or, depending on the chosen kanji, convey a sense of peaceful blessing and vibrant spirit. Associated with the courageous heroine of Demon Slayer, it has blossomed into an Anglo-American favorite that brings a touch of anime magic to an English-speaking nursery. Though still nestled just outside the top 900—landing at number 929 for girls born in the U.S. in 2024—Nezuko has steadily captured hearts with its gentle strength and unique flair. Of course, little Nezukos aren’t expected to break into demon-slaying heroics at bedtime—but they do tend to light up a room with that determined spark of adventure. In short, Nezuko is a sweet, spirited choice with an inspiring story all its own.
