Konatsu is Japanese in Origin.

Konatsu is a Japanese given name, most often feminine, built from native elements and pronounced ko-NAH-tsu. The second element natsu means “summer” (夏), while the first ko varies by kanji, giving shades of meaning such as “little” (小), “heart” (心), “harp/koto” (琴), or “lake” (湖). Accordingly, common spellings include 小夏 (“little summer”), 心夏 (“heart of summer”), 琴夏 (“koto of summer”), and 湖夏 (“lake in summer”). As with many Japanese names, the meaning depends on the chosen characters; it may also be written in hiragana (こなつ) or katakana (コナツ).

Seasonal names featuring 夏 rose in popularity from the late Shōwa into the Heisei and Reiwa eras, and Konatsu fits contemporary tastes for light, nature-evoking sounds without the traditional -ko suffix. Nicknames include Kona and Natsu. Related names are Natsumi, Natsuki, Natsuho, and Natsuko. Usage is predominantly feminine but can be unisex depending on kanji.
