Koh is Cantonese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai in Origin.
Koh is a multicultural given name most commonly reflecting the Japanese name Kō. Depending on the kanji chosen - such as 光 (light), 幸 (good fortune), 航 (navigation), 浩 (vast), 弘 (expansive), 紘 (grand) - its meaning varies, and it can be masculine or unisex. As a standalone given name and as a prefix in compounds (Kohei, Kota, Kōji), it rose in 20th‑century Japan and remains familiar in contemporary rosters, athletics, and pop culture.
Spellings and variants include Ko, Kou, and macroned Kō; English users sometimes prefer Koh to signal the long vowel. In other languages, Koh appears mainly as a surname: an alternate romanization of the Korean family name Go (Ko), and a Hokkien/Teochew spelling seen in Southeast Asia for several Chinese surnames. That cross‑cultural presence gives Koh a compact, modern sound with layered meanings centered on brightness, happiness, breadth, and voyaging.
