Seikou is Japanese in Origin.
Seikou is a Japanese given name formed from the elements sei and kō, whose meanings vary by kanji. Common writings include 成功 (“success”), 清光 (“pure light”), 誠光 (“sincere light”), 星光 (“starlight”), 盛光 (“flourishing light”), and variants using 功 or 幸 for kō (“achievement”/“happiness”). The long final vowel is reflected in romanizations Seikō (macron), Seikou (ou), or Seikoh; Seiko is a simplified spelling that may shift the perceived gender. Nicknames may shorten to Sei.
In modern records, Seikou appears chiefly as a masculine given name in Japan, though usage can be unisex depending on kanji. Its flexible graphing lets parents highlight auspicious ideas such as success, virtue, brightness, and prosperity. Outside Japan, the Seikou spelling helps preserve pronunciation and distinguish the name from the brand-based or feminine Seiko.
