Kazukiyo is Japanese in Origin.

Kazukiyo is a Japanese masculine given name formed from the elements Kazu and Kiyo. Kazu most often corresponds to kanji such as 和 “harmony; peace” or 一 “one; first,” while Kiyo is commonly 清 “pure; clean,” sometimes 聖 “sacred; saintly,” or the compound 紀世 “chronicle + generation/era.” In name-specific readings (nanori), both elements are flexible, so the sense shifts by writing - frequent interpretations include “harmonious purity,” “first purity,” or “peaceful era.”

Used from the late Meiji through Shōwa eras, the name fits the pattern of compound -kazu names for boys and today feels uncommon yet refined, with a retro appeal. Variants include kanji spellings such as 和清, 一清, 和聖, and 和紀世; nicknames are Kazu and Kiyo. Related alternatives are Kazuki, Kazuaki, Kazuhiko, and Kiyoshi. Standard romanization is Kazukiyo (Hepburn), with no established variant spellings.
