What is the meaning of the name Haruko-san ?

The baby name Haruko-san is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced HAH-roo-koh (Japanese: /haɾɯko/).

Haruko-san is Japanese in Origin.

In Japanese, Haruko-san combines the given name Haruko with the polite honorific -san; in records the given name is simply Haruko. Written as 春子, 晴子, or 遥子 and also in hiragana (はるこ) or katakana (ハルコ), it pairs haru - meaning spring, clear weather, or distance depending on the chosen kanji - with ko, child. Common interpretations include spring child, sunny child, or far-reaching child.

Haruko saw broad use in Japan from the Meiji era through the mid-20th century, when -ko names were fashionable, and today reads as a classic with nostalgic charm. Notable bearers include actress Haruko Sugimura and the character Haruko Haruhara (FLCL). Nickname: Haru. Related names include Haruka, Harumi, and Haruna. The honorific -san (as in Haruko-san) signals respect in conversation but is not part of the legal name.
