What is the meaning of the name Pakho ?

The baby name Pakho is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'cantonese_approx': 'PAHK-ho', 'english_approx': 'PAK-ho or PAK-hoh', 'ipa': 'Cantonese: [pɐk̚ hɔː]; English approximation: /pækhoʊ/'}.

Pakho is Cantonese in Origin.

Pakho is a Cantonese romanization of the two-syllable Chinese given name Pak-ho, most often written as 柏豪. In this well-known form it combines 柏, “cypress,” a symbol of endurance and integrity, with 豪, “heroic; magnanimous,” conveying a sense of steadfast courage or noble spirit. Because Chinese given names are character-based, meanings vary with the hanzi selected; another common pairing is 柏皓 (“cypress; bright, luminous”).

Used chiefly in Hong Kong and the wider Cantonese diaspora, Pakho follows the typical two-morpheme pattern for male names, though it can be unisex depending on characters. The spelling gained visibility through pop culture, notably singer-actor Pakho Chau (周柏豪). Variants include Pak-ho and Pak Ho; more phonetic forms are Baak-ho (Jyutping) or Bak-ho (Yale). In Mandarin Pinyin, comparable names appear as Baihao, often written as Bǎihào.
