[Facts] Sosuke
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me find the meaning of the Japanese name Sosuke. It is a boy's name. I don't think it is very common but I have seen a boy named Sosuke in real life on television before. I believe he was featured in the Last samurai movie. I don't remember. Anyway, thanks everyone!

Like most Japanese names, Sosuke (actually Sousuke, with a long O) can have several meanings depending on the characters used to write it. Sou can mean, among other things, "smooth," "complete," or "clever."-Suke is a common male suffix meaning "help" or "mediate."
