Yoshiro is a Japanese masculine given name combining yoshi - written with kanji meaning “good,” “virtuous,” “righteous,” “auspicious,” or even “fragrant” - with rō, typically 郎 (“son; young man”) or 朗 (“clear, bright”). Because Japanese names vary by kanji, common writings include 義郎, 善郎, 良郎, 佳朗, 嘉朗, 芳郎, 喜朗, and 慶郎, yielding senses such as “righteous son,” “virtuous youth,” or “auspicious and bright.” It is pronounced yo-shee-roh; romanizations include Yoshiro, Yoshirō (with macron), and Yoshirou; kana form is よしろう.

Names ending in -rō were popular from the Meiji through mid‑Shōwa periods and now carry a classic, steady tone while remaining familiar in modern Japan. Notable bearers include former prime minister Yoshiro Mori, art director Yoshirō Muraki, and inventor Yoshiro Nakamatsu. Diminutive Yoshi is common; related but distinct names include Yoshihiro and Yoshio. Variant spellings depend on kanji choice, so the exact meaning is personal to the family’s selection.
