Koudai is Japanese in Origin.

Koudai is a Japanese masculine given name from the reading こうだい, typically built on the element 大 “great/big” plus a first kanji that shapes nuance. Common spellings include 広大 “immense/vast,” 滉大 “expansive water + great,” 航大 “navigation + great,” 光大 “light + great,” 弘大 “magnify + great,” and 幸大 “fortunate + great.” Pronounced KOH-dye. Note that 古代 means “ancient times” (kodai) in Japanese but is rarely used as a personal name.

Usage rose from the late Shōwa through Heisei eras (1980s–2000s) and remains familiar among male athletes and entertainers; baseball pitcher Kodai Senga exemplifies modern bearers. Romanization varies: Kōdai (macron), Kodai (simplified), Koudai (long-vowel “ou”), and occasionally Kohdai. Nicknames include Kō-chan and Dai. Related names sharing elements include Kōta/Kota (こうた) and Daiki. Overall meanings emphasize breadth, brightness, good fortune, and strength linked to “greatness.”
