Manzo

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Japanese

Meaning: 10,000-fold-strong third son

Manzo is a Japanese name for boys. With its meaning, “ten thousand-fold-strong third son,” it’s a name reserved for such an occasion. And if you were wondering about the emphatic prefix, it’s so that the world never underestimates your little one. In fairytales and folklore, the third son is always the most foolish and gullible. Make it known that they are not going to follow suit. Instead, they’re going to be your pride and someone the world did not see coming.
