What is the meaning of the name Ringo ?

The baby name Ringo is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'english': 'RING-goh (/ˈrɪŋɡoʊ/)', 'japanese': 'rin-go (/ɾiŋɡo/)'}.

Ringo is English, Japanese in Origin.

Ringo blends Japanese and pop-cultural roots. In Japanese, ringo (りんご) is the everyday word for “apple” and, while uncommon as a given name, appears as a modern, sometimes playful choice or stage name (notably singer Shiina Ringo). When used as a name, it may be written with various kanji that read rin-go - such as 林檎 “apple” or creative pairings like 倫悟 or 輪吾 - so the meaning depends on the characters selected.

In the English-speaking world, Ringo is inseparable from Beatles drummer Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey), whose nickname came from wearing numerous rings; his 1960s fame introduced the name into occasional baby-name use. It remains rare and chiefly masculine, carrying musical, retro, and offbeat vibes. Possible nicknames include Rin or Ring. There are no established traditional variants, though the spelling is consistent across languages; related Japanese names include Rin and Rinko, which are etymologically separate.
