Shiroh is Japanese in Origin.
Shiroh is a Japanese masculine given name; the terminal -h marks the long vowel ō in older romanization, equivalent to Shirō or Shirou, and often simplified to Shiro. Pronounced SHEE-roh, its meaning varies with the kanji chosen. The classic form 四郎 combines shi ‘four’ with rō ‘son/man,’ yielding “fourth son.” Other frequent kanji variants include 司郎 (“administrator/steward + son”), 史郎 (“history + son”), and 志郎 (“will/aspiration + son”).
Names ending in -rō were popular from the Edo through early Shōwa periods as birth-order names (Ichirō, Jirō, Saburō, Shirō), and today Shiroh/Shirō is used regardless of birth order. Outside Japan it is encountered via romanized records and popular media, where Shirou/Shiro are the prevailing spellings. Variants: Shirō, Shirou, Shiro; related names include Ichirō, Jirō, and Saburō. Overall sense: traditional yet approachable, with connotations of reliability and continuity.
