Tatsurou is Japanese in Origin.

Tatsurou is a Japanese masculine given name built from the element Tatsu - commonly written as 達 “to attain,” 竜/龍 “dragon,” or 辰 “zodiac dragon” - and rō/rou, typically 郎 “son; youth” or 朗 “bright.” Accordingly, meanings range from “accomplished son” (達郎) to “dragon youth” (竜郎) or “bright dragon” (竜朗). The name is usually pronounced tah-tsoo-roh, with a long final o.

In Japan it fits the mid-20th-century trend of -rō boys’ names (Ichirō, Jirō, Saburō), giving it a classic Shōwa-era feel while remaining familiar today. The best-known bearer abroad is singer-songwriter Tatsurō Yamashita (山下達郎), which helped cement the 達郎 spelling. Romanization varies: Tatsurou (reflecting the long vowel), Tatsuro (macron omitted), or Tatsurō (Hepburn with macron); in kana it appears as たつろう. Less common kanji pairings and personal preferences mean no single “correct” meaning, but the name consistently conveys strength, achievement, and a polished traditional tone.
