Are there any Japanese given names (either masculine or unisex) that mean *’to guide,’ ‘guidepost,’* or *’to show/lead the way?’*

標 (ひょう) means guidepost.

Especially look at 標 and 導.
But this info is easily accessible on google – in English 🙂
You’re looking for names and neither of those listed are names on their own. I’ll post one for brevity.
I’d suggest 博導 (ひろみち/Hiromichi).
It has the meaning of leadership and guidance but has a tender nuance due to the use of ひ at the beginning having a softer sound.
Edit: I’m blind and didn’t follow the link another user provided. There’s some nice ones there too
