Shuhei is a unisex given name of Japanese origin, derived from the elements "shu" meaning "to protect" or "to guard," and "hei" meaning "peace." It is often used for both boys and girls in Japan, with its usage being more prevalent among males. The name Shuhei gained prominence in Japan during the post-World War II era but has since seen a decline in popularity among newborns. However, it remains a popular choice for older generations who may have named their children Shuhei during the mid-to-late 20th century.
Shuhei had a total of 29 babies named over four years, with the most babies born in any single year being eight in 1992.
