Ryuto is Japanese in Origin.

Ryuto (Ryūto, also Ryuuto) is a Japanese masculine given name pronounced RYOO-to. Written in kana as りゅうと/リュウト, it typically combines ryū (竜/龍, "dragon") with to (斗, the Big Dipper/sake ladle), as in 竜斗 or 龍斗. Other spellings include 隆斗 ("noble, prosperous" + 斗), 琉斗 ("lapis lazuli; Ryukyu" + 斗), 流斗 ("flow/current" + 斗), and forms using 人 ("person") or 翔 ("soar") such as 龍人 or 龍翔. Meanings vary by kanji, evoking power, celestial guidance, or graceful movement.

Usage grew in late Shōwa-Heisei with the boom in -to boy names (Haruto, Sōta, Yuito), rather than in classical records. Nicknames include Ryū/Ryuu and Ryu; related names are Ryōta, Ryūta, and Ryūsei. For romanization, Ryuto (without macron) is common internationally, while Ryūto reflects standard Hepburn.
