I understand the need for anonymity but I’m just wondering how he or she came about this name and why this particular name?

he, she or they...

I think it is just something he like. like a nickname.

So "he" had some culture, and like japan.

being mysterious and chose a multiple meaning nickname is a way to allow people dream they own story about it.

It is also a way to make legends.

SATOSHI = 7 letters = BITCOIN

NAKAMOTO = 8 letters = number of BIT in a byte

and you can list more and more interesting points or supposed origins about it, even ones "he" didn't imagine when he create this nickname.

The sentence in the genesis block is also interesting because it means his mind was open to the world and not only his country problems.

I think "he" let some clues in exchanges he had with other coders that have communicate with him.

"he" is really a good example of a full free mind that act for humanity, and not swear he will do without doing it.

Interesting 🤔
