What is the meaning of the name Hiroe ?

The baby name Hiroe is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced {'phonetic': 'hee-roh-eh', 'IPA': '/hi.ro.e/'}.

Hiroe is Japanese in Origin.

Hiroe is a Japanese given name, usually feminine, pronounced HEE-ro-eh and written with various kanji. Hiro typically conveys "wide, vast, generous" (広, 弘, 宏, 紘, 裕, 浩, 寛), while e can mean "blessing/grace" (恵), "bay/inlet" (江), or "picture" (絵). Meaning shifts with the combination, for example 弘恵 "magnanimous blessing," 広恵 "broad grace," 裕恵 "abundant blessing," 浩江 "vast inlet," or 紘恵 and 寛恵 "grand or kindly favor." It may also be rendered purely in kana as ひろえ or ヒロエ.

Usage rose in Japan through the mid to late 20th century and is now familiar but less frequently given to newborns. While occasionally unisex, it is chiefly borne by women and appears across arts and sports. Variants are best understood as alternative kanji spellings rather than different names; there are no standard Westernized nicknames, though Hiro-chan is a common affectionate form. Related names built on hiro include Hiroko, Hiromi, and Hiroka.
