The baby name Fuyuhiko is a Male name and is pronounced foo-YOO-hee-koh (romanization: Fuyuhiko; IPA approximation: /ɸɯjɯçiko/).

Fuyuhiko is Japanese in Origin.

Fuyuhiko is a Japanese masculine given name built from fuyu, “winter,” and hiko, an old word for “boy” or “prince.” The most common writing is 冬彦; alternative, more archaic forms include 冬比古 and 冬日子. Depending on the kanji, the name conveys nuances such as “winter lad,” “child of winter,” or, with 日子, “winter sun child.” It is pronounced foo-yoo-HEE-koh and carries a refined, classical tone.

The hiko element is common in early chronicles (Kojiki, Nihon Shoki) as a princely epithet; -hiko names saw modest use in the Taishō–Shōwa era. Fuyuhiko is uncommon today but recognizable, aided by poet-critic Kitagawa Fuyuhiko (1900–1990) and by fiction. Romanization is usually Fuyuhiko (Hepburn), with Huyuhiko in Nihon-shiki/Kunrei. Informal diminutives include Fuyu and Hiko. Related -hiko names include Akihiko, Yoshihiko, and Haruhiko (a spring counterpart).
