Hiro, of Japanese origin, translates to 'generous' or 'wide'. It is composed of two Kanji characters: '廣' (hiro) meaning 'wide', and '夫' (o) which signifies 'man'. Hiro gained popularity in the West following World War II due to its use by Hirohito, Emperor of Japan from 1926 until his death in 1989. Today, it is often used unisex, appealing to those seeking a unique yet meaningful name for their child.
"In 1915, there were five babies named Hiro."
