Ryusei is Japanese in Origin.
Ryusei is a modern Japanese masculine given name, commonly written 流星, literally “meteor” or “shooting star” (ryū “to flow” + sei “star”), or as 竜星/龍星, “dragon star,” evoking power and brilliance. The long vowel is often marked Ryūsei in Hepburn; Ryusei and Ryuusei are frequent romanized variants. As with many Japanese names, other kanji pairings exist, chosen for auspicious nuance, though the star motif remains popular.
As a personal name it gained traction in late 20th- and early 21st-century Japan alongside nature and celestial-themed boys’ names, and it appears across pop culture and sports, helping its visibility. The given name coexists with the everyday noun ryūsei “meteor,” lending it a poetic, dynamic image. Diminutives include Ryu and Sei. Related names with overlapping imagery include Sora (“sky”), Hikaru (“light”), and Subaru (“Pleiades”).
