Massago is in Origin.

Massago is an extremely rare given name with two plausible paths. In Japanese, the near-identical Masago/Massago appears as a surname and toponym written 真砂, literally “fine sand”; the word masago also refers to tiny fish roe in sushi contexts. As a given name it is unconventional, though it resonates with familiar Masa‑ names such as Masao and Masako.

In contemporary Western naming, Massago reads as a modern coinage - an -o ending choice whose rhythm echoes Italian and Spanish names - without an inherited meaning. Documented first‑name use surfaces mainly in the late 20th–21st centuries. Variants include Masago (single s) and, by association, Masako (feminine). If the Japanese route is intended, the sense “fine sand” is the most defensible meaning.
