The baby name Natsu is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced NAH-tsoo (Japanese: /natsu/).
Natsu is Japanese in Origin.
Natsu (NAH-tsu) is a Japanese unisex given name meaning “summer” when written 夏. Other common spellings pair phonetic or nature kanji - 奈津 and 菜津 - where 奈 acts phonetically, 菜 means “greens,” and 津 “harbor,” adding natural or seasonal nuance without changing the core reading. It may also be written purely in kana (なつ/ナツ).
Seasonal names tied to birth time have been used since the Edo period, and Natsu appears in early family registers, especially for women, often as 奈津. As a standalone name it remains concise and warm; abroad it gained visibility through anime and manga, notably the male character Natsu Dragneel in Fairy Tail. Diminutives and related forms include Natsuki, Natsumi, Natsue, Natsuko (feminine) and Natsuo (masculine), with Natsu often serving as a nickname. Variant romanizations are standardized as Natsu in Hepburn.
