Meaning & History

This name combines 八 (hachi, ya, ya'.tsu, ya.tsu, you) meaning "eight" & 郎 (ryou, rou, otoko) meaning "son" or 朗 (rou, aki.raka, hoga.raka) meaning "bright, cheerful, clear, merry" with 太 (ta, tai, futo.i, futo.ru) meaning "big, plump, thick."

One fictional bearer of this name is Hachirōta "Hachimaki" Hoshino (星野 八郎太), the protagonist in the manga and anime series Planetes.

This name is very rarely given to boys, if given at all.
