Meaning & origin
Tsugio is a Japanese masculine name that first appeared in recorded U.S. data in 1914, the same year as its peak usage. Its trajectory has remained stable with no recent revival, and no top states for usage were recorded. The name carries a literal meaning of 'second son' or 'next man,' reflecting traditional Japanese naming customs for birth order. While not common outside Japan, it remains a distinctive choice grounded in Japanese cultural heritage.
Tsugio is a Japanese masculine given name composed of kanji characters. A common reading uses 次 (tsugi, 'next, following') and 男 (o, 'male'), literally meaning 'second son' or 'next son.' It has been in use since at least the early 20th century, particularly among older generations in Japan.
