What is the meaning of the name Toshihiko ?

The baby name Toshihiko is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced としひこ (Toshihiko), IPA: /toɕiçiko/.

Toshihiko is Japanese in Origin.

Toshihiko is a Japanese masculine given name formed from the element toshi and the suffix hiko. Depending on the kanji chosen, toshi can signify "talented/virtuous" (俊), "quick/alert" (敏), "benefit" (利), or "longevity" (寿), among others, while hiko (彦) is an old male name element meaning "boy; prince." Common spellings include 俊彦, 敏彦, 利彦, and 寿彦, broadly glossed as "talented lad," "alert boy," etc.

Names ending in -hiko trace to classical usage in myth and early aristocratic lineages and later saw broad popularity from the Meiji through mid-Showa periods; today Toshihiko reads as solidly traditional yet familiar, borne by figures such as runner Toshihiko Seko and judoka Toshihiko Koga. Variants include kana forms としひこ/トシヒコ, the archaic hiko written 比古, and the romanization Tosihiko (Kunrei/Nihon-shiki). Diminutives include Toshi; the related feminine form is Toshiko (子).
