Hironori is Japanese in Origin.

Hironori is a Japanese masculine given name composed of two kanji elements, typically read hiro (“wide, generous, abundant, learned,” as in 広, 宏, 浩, 博, 寛, 弘) and nori (“law, canon, chronicle, virtue,” as in 則, 典, 紀, 教, 徳). Common pairings include 弘則, 宏徳, 浩典, 博紀, and 寛紀, though many other combinations exist, so meaning varies with the characters chosen. Informal nicknames often shorten to Hiro or Nori. Romanization is usually Hironori in Hepburn.

Usage rose in the Meiji–Shōwa eras and became a steady, respectable choice through the mid-20th century; it is rarer in contemporary cohorts but remains familiar. The name appears across sports, academia, and the arts; a well-known bearer is Hironori Ōtsuka, founder of Wadō-ryū karate. Related forms invert the elements (Norihiro) or swap the second element (Hirokazu, Hirofumi), while parallel Nori- names include Noriyuki and Noriko (feminine).
