Continuous improvement or change for the better
Kaiyzen is a modern phonetic spelling of the Japanese word 'kaizen', a philosophy focusing on continuous improvement in all aspects of life. While not a traditional Japanese given name, it has emerged in the West as a meaningful virtue name. It combines the concepts of 'kai' (change) and 'zen' (good).
