Seikichi is Japanese in Origin.
Seikichi is a Japanese masculine given name composed of the element Sei and the auspicious suffix -kichi. Depending on the kanji chosen, its sense shifts: 誠吉 (sincere good fortune), 清吉 (pure blessing), 正吉 (upright good luck), 成吉 (accomplished fortune), 盛吉 (prosperous luck), or 静吉 (quiet felicity). The -kichi ending, written 吉, traditionally signaled a wish for luck and success in life, study, or martial arts. The name can also be written in kana as せいきち or セイキチ.
Names ending in -kichi were especially popular from the Meiji through early Shōwa periods, and Seikichi remains familiar through Okinawan and mainland bearers such as karate masters Seikichi Toguchi and Seikichi Odo. Today it feels vintage yet sturdy. Romanization variants include Seikichi (Hepburn) and Seikiti (Kunrei/Nihon). Related -kichi names include Tokichi, Rikichi, and Yukichi, while short forms like Sei or Kichi are sometimes used informally.
We have no record of Seikichi in any national birth registry or name dataset. Most often that means a rare name, a regional or heritage one, or a recent coinage. Either way, it remains a genuinely rare choice.
