Kiyoshirou is Japanese in Origin.

Kiyoshirou is a Japanese masculine given name composed of kiyo (“pure; clean”), shi (often “will; purpose” or “history”), and rō (“son; young man; bright”), with its sense determined by the kanji chosen. Common spellings include 清志郎 (“pure + intent + youth”), 清四郎 (“pure + fourth + son”), 清次郎 (“pure + next + son”), and 聖志郎 (“holy + intent + youth”); it may also be written in kana as きよしろう. The name often conveys ideas of purity, resolve, and youthful vigor.

Names ending in -rō have been used for boys since the Edo period, especially to mark birth order, and Kiyoshirou reflects that classic style. While most popular before World War II, it persists as a nostalgic or refined choice and gained modern recognition through musician Kiyoshiro Imawano (忌野清志郎). Variant romanizations include Kiyoshiro and the macron form Kiyoshirō; short forms Kiyoshi or Kiyo sometimes appear in informal use.
