Fuuta (Fūta) is a Japanese masculine given name formed from fū (“wind,” 風, or “maple,” 楓) plus ta (“big; grand,” 太, or the name kanji 汰 “to sift/refine”).

Usage is modern, aligning with the late‑20th‑century rise of short -ta names (Yūta, Kōta, Sōta). Fuuta has seen modest but steady use and gained wider recognition in 2005 via Fūta the standing red panda at Chiba Zoological Park. Romanization varies: Fūta (Hepburn with macron), Fuuta (long‑vowel doubling), or Futa (simplified). Informal nicknames include Fū‑chan and Fū‑kun.
