Comments for the name Ryo

This is used in the Fake series of manga for the lead character.

This one's a little hard to pronounce correctly. It is NOT pronounced ree-oh; try to say just "ryoh," one syllable.

Kanji possibilities (actually, it's a long o sound and would be written "ryou" in Japanese):

Girls' name with "ryo":
Ryouko

Boys' names with "ryo":
Ryou
Ryouichi
Ryouji
Ryouta
Ryoutarou
Ryouhei

One of the meaning possibilities is "good/fine".

Ryo is the name of a character in the anime Tokyo Mew Mew, except his name is spelled with a "u" at the end.

A famous bearer is Ryo Akiyama from Digimon Tamers. Ryo is also known as 'The Digimon King'.

Can also mean "dragon".

May also mean "clear or bright". Shishido Ryo and Kisarazu Ryo are both from the anime Prince of Tennis.

Nishikido Ryo is a famous Jpop singer.

Interesting... I would never use it a I am not of Japanese decent. I have engaged in role-plays in the past that included characters by the name of "Ryo." A decent name-- simple, straight forward, but must be used according to ethnic origin.

This is extremely difficult to pronounce. It almost sounds like the name Joe. The R is pronounced like a mixture of a D, J and L and it only has one syllable.
