Tomio

Meaning of Tomio

Tomio is a Japanese masculine given name formed from tomi (wealth, abundance) and o (man), literally translating to “man of prosperity.” Pronounced “toh-mee-oh” (/toːmiɔ/), it retains a clear, two-syllable rhythm. U.S. birth statistics from 1915 through 1932 record a modest but steady usage—annual counts ranged from five to fourteen, with rankings generally in the low 500s and peaking at fourteen occurrences in 1924 (rank 545). Despite its literal connotation of abundance, Tomio was never more than a niche choice on American shores, hinting at its appeal primarily among Japanese-American families or those drawn to its straightforward symbolism. Today, this name offers a distinctive blend of cultural depth and understated individuality.
