Heiichiro is Japanese in Origin.

Heiichiro is a masculine Japanese given name built from the elements hei and -ichirō. The first can be written with kanji such as 平 “peace; level,” 兵 “soldier,” or 並 “row; equal,” while -ichirō is typically 一郎, meaning “first son” or “eldest boy.” Depending on the characters, the name can convey senses like “peaceful first son,” “warrior first son,” or “well-balanced first son.”

Use of the -ichirō ending was especially common from the Meiji through early Shōwa periods to mark birth order, and while rarer today, the name retains a classic, dignified tone in Japan and the diaspora. Romanization varies: Heiichirō (with macron), Heiichiro (no macron), Heiichirou (ou spelling), and sometimes Heichiro as an informal shortening. Possible spellings include 平一郎, 兵一郎, 並一郎, among others; as with many Japanese names, parents choose kanji to tailor nuance and auspicious meaning.
