The baby name Kaisei is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ˈkaɪseɪ/ (KAI-sey); Japanese romanization: ka-i-se-i (kah-ee-seh-ee).

Kaisei is Japanese in Origin.

Kaisei is a Japanese given name, typically masculine but also used unisex, written かいせい in kana and in many kanji combinations. Common renderings include 快晴 “clear, fine weather,” 海星 “sea star,” 海誠 “ocean + sincerity,” 海成 “becoming of the sea,” 開成 “opening/achievement,” 佳誠 “excellent sincerity,” and 魁聖 “pioneer + sage,” each shading the meaning differently.

Its use has grown in late Heisei and into Reiwa, reflecting modern tastes for nature imagery and aspirational virtues; it appears among contemporary athletes and entertainers, including a top-division sumo wrestler known by the shikona Kaisei. Because Japanese names are semantically defined by their characters, Kaisei has no single English equivalent; Romanization is usually Kaisei (Hepburn), with nicknames Kai or Sei. Variant forms consist chiefly of alternate kanji choices or kana-only spellings, allowing parents to tailor nuances such as “bright skies after rain,” “steadfast integrity,” or a maritime bond.
