Daizō is a Japanese masculine given name whose meaning depends on the kanji chosen.

The macron marks a long final vowel; it may be transcribed as Daizo, Daizou, or Daizoh, and written in kana as だいぞう. The components typically use the Sino-Japanese reading dai (“great, big”) plus a character read zō, yielding meanings that evoke abundance, craftsmanship, or authority.

Names ending in -zō were fashionable in Japan from the late Meiji through early Shōwa eras, lending Daizō a classic, slightly vintage feel today.

Variants by kanji and regional preference exist, but Daizō is consistently perceived as a solid, traditional choice.
