Hitoto is Japanese in Origin.

Hitoto is Japanese in origin and can function as both a rare given name and a surname. As a given name, it is most often written in kana (ひとと/ヒトト), with meaning determined by chosen kanji. Common elements include hito (“person,” 人 or 仁, implying humanity or benevolence) paired with -to, a name-ending read from characters such as 斗 (“Big Dipper/measuring cup”), 登 (“ascend”), 透 (“clear, transparent”), or 杜 (“grove”), yielding combinations like 仁斗 (“benevolent + dipper”), 人登 (“person + ascend”), or 仁人 (“benevolent person”). As a surname, Hitoto is famously written 一青 (“one; blue/green”), notably borne by singer Yo Hitoto.

Usage as a given name is modern and uncommon, fitting contemporary Japanese tastes for soft, two- or three-mora names ending in -to, and it is generally unisex. Variants include kana-only spellings and the hyphenated Hito-to; meaning varies with kanji selection.
