Haru is a Japanese given name, derived from the word 'haru', meaning 'spring' or 'bloom'. It's often associated with the Japanese season of spring and its renewal.
In Shintoism, Haru is considered a symbol of new beginnings and rebirth. In some Japanese families, it's also given to children born in the spring.
People named Haru are often seen as optimistic, gentle, and creative with a strong connection to nature.
The name Haru is relatively uncommon outside of Japan but has gained popularity in recent years among Japanese parents seeking traditional yet modern names for their children.
