Meaningoften dragon person · Japanese
Ryuto is a Japanese boy name often meaning “dragon person”. In Japan, parents often choose a name as much for the kanji characters behind it as for its sound, so the same name can carry several shades of meaning.

It sounds soft and friendly, it's easy to spell and quick to call across a playground, and it pairs well with middle names of almost any length.
