Rokutaro is Japanese in Origin.

Rokutaro (Rokutarō) is a Japanese masculine given name formed from Roku (“six”) and Tarō (“big/robust son; eldest boy”). It is most often written 六太郎 or 六太朗, with phonetic spellings ろくたろう/ロクタロウ also used. The meaning typically reads as “six + Tarō,” interpreted either as “sixth-born boy” or as invoking the auspicious number six, while Tarō contributes a classic, hearty masculine nuance. As with many Japanese names, nuance varies by kanji choice.

Number-linked boys’ names and the -tarō ending were widespread from medieval through Edo Japan, marking birth order or simply style; in modern use they feel traditional or retro-chic. Rokutaro is rare compared with Rokurō (六郎, “sixth son”) but is attested and follows the same naming logic. Related forms include Rokuta (六太), Rokurō, and Tarō. Romanization varies - Rokutaro, Rokutarō, Rokutarou - and nicknames may shorten to Roku or Tarō.
