Meaning & History
Kenzō is a common masculine Japanese given name, also romanized as Kenzo or Kenzou. The name's meaning depends on the kanji (Chinese characters) chosen to write it. Common components include ken meaning "humble", ken meaning "healthy, strong", or ken meaning "wise", often combined with zō meaning "three". However, other possibilities exist, such as 健想 ("healthy, perception"), 建造 ("build, create"), 健蔵 ("healthy, storehouse"), 憲蔵 ("constitution, storehouse"), and 研造 ("polish, create"). The name can also be written entirely in hiragana or katakana without kanji.
