Haruto

Origin and meaning of Haruto

Haruto is a much-loved Japanese boys' name that has topped the charts in Japan for years. Depending on the kanji used to write it, its shades shift — often haru, 'sun, light, spring,' joined with to, 'to soar, to stand out': hence the bright idea of 'spring sun.' Found essentially in Japan, it evokes warmth, renewal and momentum, with an open, melodic sound cherished by contemporary Japanese families.
