About the name Kōji
Kōji belongs to the Japanese tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Kōji first appears in Social Security records in 1922. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #2656 in 1984, and in 2024 25 babies received the name — 611 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
