Origin and meaning of Haru

Haru is most often written 陽 or 晴 ("sun, sunlight" or "clear sky") or 春 ("spring"): three different kanji sharing the same reading, each giving a distinct meaning, as is common with Japanese names. It is one of the few Japanese names used for both boys and girls, often serving as the base for compound names (Haruto, Haruka), loved for its symbolic brightness.
