Tokimitsu is Japanese in Origin.

Tokimitsu is a Japanese masculine given name composed of the elements toki and mitsu. Meanings vary by kanji: toki is often written 時 “time; season” (or less commonly 朱鷺 “crested ibis”), while mitsu may be 光 “light; radiance,” 満 “fullness; abundance,” or 充 “to enrich.” Typical combinations include 時光 (“time + light”), 時満 (“time + fullness”), or 登喜光 (“rise/auspicious joy + light”), yielding senses such as “light of the times,” “timely abundance,” or “rising, joyful light.”

The name carries a classical tone; -mitsu names were favored among samurai and in early modern family lines, and Tokimitsu remains rare in contemporary Japan but recognizable. Spelled in kana as ときみつ, it also appears in many kanji variants. Short forms include Toki and Mitsu; a reversible counterpart is Mitsutoki. Related names built on the same elements include Tokimasa, Tokimune, Mitsuhide, and Mitsunari. Romanization may appear as Tokimitsu, Toki Mitsu, or Toki-mitsu.
