Mitsuru is Japanese in Origin.

Mitsuru is a Japanese unisex given name grounded in kanji whose meanings depend on the characters chosen. Commonly written 充 (“to fill; to enrich”) or 満 (“full; complete”), it can also appear as 美鶴 (“beautiful crane”) or in kana as みつる/ミツル. The name echoes the classical verb form 満つる (mitsuru), an attributive of 満つ (“to be full”), lending connotations of completeness, maturity, and fulfillment.

Usage rose for boys through the Shōwa period (20th century) and remains cross-gender, though more frequently masculine. Well-known bearers include manga artist Adachi Mitsuru (あだち充), reinforcing the 充 spelling. Variants and short forms include Mitsu; related names built on the same morpheme are Mitsuo, Mitsuki, Mitsuko, and Mitsuyo. Romanization follows Hepburn as Mitsuru. Parents often select kanji to express hopes for a life filled with abundance, capability, or graceful longevity (with 鶴 “crane” symbolizing long life).
