Mizuki is Japanese in Origin.

Mizuki is a Japanese unisex name and occasional surname whose meaning depends on the kanji. Common given-name spellings include 瑞希 (auspicious hope), 美月 (beautiful moon), 水樹 (water tree), and 水希 (water + hope); it can also be written purely in hiragana (みずき) or katakana (ミズキ). The element zuki may reflect rendaku of tsuki, “moon,” while mizu means “water,” and ki can mean “tree” among other senses, giving the name fresh, natural imagery.

Used as a given name mainly from the late 20th century onward, Mizuki fits the modern Japanese preference for airy, nature-rich names and has seen wide use for girls while remaining genuinely unisex. As a surname, 水木 is longstanding and literally “water + tree,” also the common name of the dogwood (mizuki) that blooms in spring; 瑞樹 and other forms also occur as family names. Variants and diminutives include Mi-chan and Zuki; romanization is typically Mizuki, with older Midzuki rarely seen.
