Seizou is Japanese in Origin.

Seizou is a Japanese masculine given name, pronounced say-zoh, with the long final vowel often romanized as Seizo, Seizou, or Seizō. It draws on the Sino-Japanese element sei (“pure; right; refined; calm,” among others) combined with the traditional male ending -zō, a suffix common in late 19th–mid 20th-century names. The name saw steady use in the Meiji, Taishō, and early Shōwa eras, giving it a classic, slightly vintage feel today.

Because Japanese names hinge on their kanji, meanings vary: 清三 (“clear/pure, third [son]”), 精三 (“refined/essence, third”), 正蔵 (“upright/correct, storehouse”), 静蔵 (“quiet, storehouse”), 盛三 (“abundant, third”), 誠蔵 (“sincere, storehouse”), and others such as 星三 (“star, third”) are attested. Notable bearers include actor Seizō Fukumoto (清三) and voice actor Seizō Katō (精三). Common short forms are Sei or Seichan. Variant spellings without diacritics (Seizo) are standard internationally.
