Akito is a Japanese male given name, composed of two kanji characters: '明' (aki) meaning bright or clear, and '人' (to) meaning person or human being. Together, they convey the concept of 'a bright individual'. It's often used in Japan but has also gained recognition internationally due to its distinctive sound and meaning.
The name Akito experienced fluctuations in popularity over time, with notable peaks in recent years. From 2002 to 2004 and again from 2018 onwards, there were periods where the name was chosen for more than ten babies annually. However, it is clear that its usage has not been consistent throughout these decades, as seen by the varying numbers of births per year.
