Kengo is Japanese in Origin.
Kengo is a Japanese masculine given name whose meaning varies by kanji. Frequent spellings include 研吾 (study/polish + self), 健吾 (healthy/robust + self), 健悟 (healthy + enlightenment), and 憲剛 (law/principle + sturdy). In names, Ken often signals strength, health, law, or study; go can mean selfhood, sturdiness, or insight. The standard romanization is Kengo; macronized Kengō also appears. Common short form: Ken.
In steady use across the 20th and 21st centuries in Japan, Kengo carries both scholarly and vigorous overtones. A homophonous word, 剣豪, denotes a “master swordsman,” a nuance sometimes felt in pop culture though written differently. Notable bearers include architect Kengo Kuma (隈 研吾), footballer Kengo Nakamura (中村 憲剛), and manga artist Kengo Hanazawa (花沢 健吾). Related Ken- names include Kenji and Kenta.
