What is the meaning of the name Tatsuki ?

Tatsuki is Japanese in Origin.

Tatsuki is a Japanese given name (unisex, more common for boys), pronounced tah-TSOO-kee and written with various kanji whose choice shapes the meaning. Frequent elements include tatsu (竜/龍 “dragon”; 達 “attain; accomplished”; 立 “stand”) and ki (樹 “tree”; 輝 “radiance”; 希 “hope”; 紀 “chronicle”). Typical combinations yield senses such as 竜樹 “dragon tree,” 達輝 “accomplished brilliance,” 立希 “rising hope,” or 達樹 “accomplished/experienced tree,” though it may also be written entirely in hiragana (たつき) or katakana (タツキ).

As a given name it rose to broader use in late 20th‑century Japan and remains modern‑leaning. Notable bearers include manga artist Tatsuki Fujimoto and figure skater Tatsuki Machida; the feminine use appears in fiction (e.g., Bleach’s Tatsuki Arisawa). Variants center on kanji choices and script: 竜/龍 vs. 立/達 for tatsu, and 樹/輝/希/紀 for ki. Related names sharing elements include Tatsuo, Tatsuya, and Itsuki.
