What is the meaning of the name Mitsuki ?

The baby name Mitsuki is a Unisex name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced MEE-tsu-kee (Japanese: /mi.tsɯ.ki/).

Mitsuki is Japanese in Origin.

Mitsuki is a Japanese unisex given name composed of mi and tsuki, with meanings that vary by kanji. Common spellings include 美月 (“beautiful moon”), 光希 (“radiant hope”), 充希 (“abundant hope”), and 深月 (“deep moon”). Mi may denote beauty, truth, fruit, or three, while tsuki means moon or month, so the name can suggest moonlight, the calendar’s cycles, or hopes coming to fruition.

Used for both boys and girls, it trends more feminine as 美月/深月 and more neutral as 光希/充希. It rose in popularity from the late 20th century into the Heisei and Reiwa eras, reflecting a broader fashion for celestial and nature kanji; the tsuki element also resonates with classical waka imagery. Variants include the kana forms みつき and ミツキ, the nickname Mitsu or Tsuki, and the alternative romanization Mituki. Related names are Mizuki and Itsuki, and pop culture appearances (for example, in Boruto) have boosted recognition.
