Meaning & Origin
Kaisen is a boy's and girl's baby name of Japanese origin, inspired by the Japanese business philosophy kaizen meaning "improvement" or "change for the better," the practice of continuous incremental improvement. It carries a forward-looking, growth-oriented spirit.
Kaisen has been adopted as a given name in the United States, appealing to parents who know the kaizen philosophy from business and personal development culture. Its two-syllable flow fits naturally in American usage, and the concept of continuous improvement is a beautiful aspiration to embed in a child's name.
