Harumasa is Japanese in Origin.

Harumasa is a Japanese masculine given name formed from the elements haru and masa. Haru is commonly written with 春 “spring” or 晴 “clear, sunny,” while masa may appear as 正 “upright, correct,” 政 “governance,” or 昌 “prosperous,” among others. Because Japanese names are written in kanji, the overall meaning depends on the combination chosen, yielding readings such as 春正 (spring + upright), 晴政 (clear + governance), or 春昌 (spring + prosperous). It is typically pronounced ha-ru-ma-sa.

Documented since medieval Japan, the name appears in samurai lineages; a notable bearer is the Sengoku-period daimyō Oda Harumasa (小田晴正). Usage declined in the late 20th century but remains recognizable and respectful in tone. Variants are chiefly orthographic, with many kanji pairings; the standard romanization is Harumasa. Related or cognate forms include the element-reversed Masaharu, as well as modern Haru-based names like Haruma and Haruto. Nicknames may shorten to Haru or Masa.
