Keitaroh is Japanese in Origin.

Keitaroh is a Japanese masculine given name built from Kei and the classical suffix Tarō. Kei may be written with kanji such as 慶 (celebration, felicity), 啓 (to enlighten, open), 敬 (respect), or 圭 (jade), while Tarō combines 太 (great) and 郎 (son/young man), historically marking the first-born boy. Accordingly, possible readings include “celebrated first son,” “enlightened eldest son,” or “respected young man,” depending on the characters selected by the family.

Names ending in -rō flourished from the medieval through Edo periods as status-tinged markers for sons, then declined with modernization but remain warmly traditional and occasionally revived for vintage charm. Keitaroh is commonly romanized as Keitaro, Keitarō (with macron), or Keitarou; Kei functions as a familiar short form. Typical kanji spellings include 慶太郎, 啓太郎, 敬太郎, and 圭太郎. Related names include Keita (dropping -rō) and the standalone Tarō.
