History & Origin

Eito is a Japanese boys' name, popular in recent decades in Japan. Because Japanese names are written in kanji and the same sound can be spelled many ways, the meaning is fixed by the characters a family selects — not by the sound. An ei element may carry senses like 'prosperity' or 'excellence,' and to senses like 'person' or 'soar,' but these vary. We note that honestly rather than assign one meaning. Very rare in the U.S. (said 'AY-toh').

It appears only very rarely in the U.S. Rare, crisp, and character-dependent in meaning.

Did you know? In Japanese, the same name-sound can be written with very different characters — so Eito's meaning depends entirely on the kanji a family chooses. We say that honestly rather than pick one (said 'AY-toh').
