Meaning & History
This name can be used to combine 力 (rii, riki, ryoku, chikara) meaning "bear up, exert, power, strain, strength, strong" with 男 (dan, nan, o, otoko) meaning "man, male," 雄 (yuu, o-, osu, on) meaning "male, masculine," 夫 (fu, fuu, bu, otto, sore, o) meaning "husband, man" or 生 (shou, sei, i.kiru, i.keru, -u, u.mare, o.u, ki, na.ru, ha.eru) meaning "birth, genuine, life."
Alternatively, the first kanji can be substituted for two, for example, 利喜 with 利 (ri, ki.ku) meaning "advantage, benefit, profit, gain" and 喜 (ki, yoroko.bu) meaning "rejoice, pleasure."Although Rikio is largely a masculine name, it was occasionally used on females (particularly those born from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century), whose names were mainly written phonetically.
