Origin and meaning of Yuto
Yuto is a Japanese boys' name built from kanji such as 優 or 悠 (yu, 'gentle, excellent' or 'calm, eternal') and 斗 or 人 (to, 'measure' or 'person'), suggesting a kind and worthy person. A modern and common choice in Japan, it is loved for its open sound and noble nuance. Abroad it is rare and clearly recognised as Japanese.
