Kota

Kota is a name of Japanese origin, but its precise meaning is uncertain. It is believed to be a variant transcription of the Japanese name 'Kōta', which is a combination of the Japanese words 'kō' meaning 'fine' or 'fragrant', and 'ta' meaning 'rice field'.

However, the name Kota may also be derived from the Sanskrit word 'kota', which means 'fort' or 'stronghold'. In Indian culture, 'Kota' is a place name for cities or towns that were built around forts or military outposts.

Alternatively, some sources suggest that Kota is a shortened form of the Japanese name 'Kotaro', which means 'bright son'.

While the exact meaning of the name Kota is unclear, it has become a popular name for boys in various cultures and countries around the world.
