What is the meaning of the name Haruna ?

The baby name Haruna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /haɾɯna/ — respelling: HAH-roo-nah.

Haruna is Japanese in Origin.

Haruna is a cross-cultural given name with two main lineages. In Japan it is primarily feminine and written with various kanji, such as 春菜 (“spring” + “greens”), 春奈 (“spring” + phonetic na), 晴菜 (“clear weather” + “greens”), or 榛名 (also the name of Mount Haruna in Gunma). The imagery centers on springtime, freshness, and bright skies. It rose in popularity in the late 20th century and remains familiar in pop culture and everyday use. Nicknames include Haru and Nana; variation lies mostly in kanji choice rather than spelling.

Across West Africa, especially among Hausa- and Mande-speaking Muslims, Haruna is a masculine form of Arabic Hārūn - cognate with Hebrew Aaron - often interpreted as “exalted” or “high mountain.” It has been used since the spread of Islam in the Sahel and remains common. Related variants include Harouna, Haroun, Haroon, and Aaron.
