What is the meaning of the name Kazuki ?

Kazuki is Japanese in Origin.

Kazuki is a Japanese given name, typically masculine though sometimes unisex, pronounced KAH-zoo-kee. It is formed from Kazu (often 和 “harmony, peace” or 一 “one”) plus Ki, commonly 樹 “tree,” 輝 “radiance,” 希 “hope,” 喜 “joy,” or 紀 “chronicle.” As a result, meanings vary, yielding interpretations like “harmonious tree,” “first radiance,” or “one joy.” The name may also be written entirely in kana as かずき or カズキ.

The name gained wide use in Japan from the late Showa period onward and remains popular, carried by figures such as actor Kazuki Kitamura, F1 driver Kazuki Nakajima, and Yu-Gi-Oh! creator Kazuki Takahashi. Variants are orthographic (multiple kanji spellings), while the standard romanization is Kazuki; Kazu works as a friendly nickname. Related “Kazu-” names include Kazuo, Kazuya, and Kazumi, sharing the root idea of harmony or primacy.
