Minato

Minatoの由来と意味

Minato is a Japanese boys' name meaning 'harbour, port,' from the word 港 (minato). It evokes a safe place where boats find shelter, carrying a sense of welcome, protection and homecoming. It has become very popular in Japan in recent years, helped by its soft sound and reassuring imagery. Outside the Japanese archipelago it stays virtually unknown, firmly tied to Japanese language and culture.
