Yuto is a unisex given name of Japanese origin, derived from the kanji characters 由 (Yu) meaning "in accordance with" and 登 (To) meaning "climb". It's pronounced as /juː.toʊ/, with the emphasis on the first syllable. This name gained popularity in Japan during the late 20th century and has since been used worldwide, often favored for its simplicity and balance of sound. In the Western world, it may be considered a unique yet accessible choice for parents looking for an exotic yet not too challenging name to pronounce or spell.
"Yuto has seen a steady increase in popularity since the late 90s, with peaks in 2005 and 2021."
