Meaning & History

Borrowed from Leo, as seen in the occasional usage of 獅 (or 獅子), on its own or as a first element kanji.
More often though, a re(i/n) kanji, like 怜/伶 meaning "clever, smart," 玲 meaning "tinkling," 蓮 meaning "lotus," 礼 meaning "thanks, gratitude; gift," 麗 meaning "lovely, beautiful," 零 meaning "zero" or 嶺 meaning "peak, summit," combines with a kanji can be (partially) read as o, such as 央 meaning "middle, centre," 生 meaning "grow," 旺 meaning "vigorous, prosperous," 桜 meaning "cherry (tree, blossom)," 大 meaning "large, big," 王 meaning "king, ruler," or 臣 meaning "retainer, attendant."

Male bearers of this name include professional shōgi player Reo Kurosawa (黒沢 怜生) (1992-) and footballer Reo Mochizuki (望月 嶺臣) (1995-).
