Shinjirō

Shinjirō (真次郎, しんじろう) is a common Japanese given name for males. The name is composed of two kanji characters: 真 (shin), meaning "true," "real," or "genuine," and 次郎 (jirō), meaning "second son."

The inclusion of "jirō" in a name traditionally indicated that the bearer was the second son in the family. While this origin is less strictly adhered to in modern naming practices, the name Shinjirō still carries a sense of tradition.

Due to the flexible nature of kanji usage, the "shin" component can be written with various other characters that share similar pronunciations but possess different meanings. This can subtly alter the nuance and desired meaning of the overall name.

As a personal name, Shinjirō does not generally refer to any specific place, object, or concept outside of its use as a proper noun.
