What is the meaning of the name Kuroh ?

The baby name Kuroh is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KOO-roh (Japanese: /kuɾo/, English approximation: /ˈkuːroʊ/).

Kuroh is Japanese in Origin.

Kuroh is a Japanese given name, typically masculine, whose spelling reflects a modern romanization of Kurō/Kuro, using -oh to signal the long final vowel. Its meaning depends on the kanji: 九郎 (Kurō, “ninth son”) preserves a classic male name pattern; 黒 (“black”) may appear in compound given names; and 狗朗 (read Kuro), “dog” + “bright,” is the writing used for the anime character Yatogami Kuroh. Because multiple kanji are possible, parents can tailor nuance from strength and mystery to brightness or good omens.

In earlier eras, Kurō served as a birth-order name in medieval Japan, with the -rō suffix (“youth/man”) common among boys’ names. In contemporary use, Kuro/Kuroh is uncommon but recognizable, boosted by pop culture. Variants and transliterations include Kuro, Kurō (macron), Kurou (ou), and Kuroo; Kuro also appears in surnames (e.g., Kuroda, Kurokawa).
