Meaning

The first son named Genzo

Symbolizes lineage, birth order, and familial continuity—often given to the eldest son in a line where 'Genzo' is a generational name.

Symbolism

Embodies tradition, heritage, and the importance of family hierarchy. It represents the passing down of names and responsibilities through generations.

Etymology: Derived from the Japanese naming practice where 'Gen' (源 or 玄) is a common prefix in male names, 'za' acts as a connective, and 'buro' (from 'saburo') means 'third son', though in this case it evolved into a standalone honorific form; often used for the first son in families using 'Genzo' as a root name.
