Tomohisa is Japanese in Origin.
Tomohisa is a masculine Japanese given name formed from tomo (“friend; companion; wisdom”) and hisa (“long-lasting; longevity”). Meanings vary with kanji: common spellings include 智久 (“wisdom” + “long-lasting”), 友久 (“friend” + “long-lasting”), 朋久 (“companion” + “long-lasting”), 知寿 or 友寿 (“knowledge/friend” + “longevity”). It can also appear as 伴久 (“companion” + “long-lasting”). The name may be written in kana as ともひさ or トモヒサ, and its nuance depends on the characters chosen by the family.
Use is attested through the 20th century into today, with -hisa names favored in mid-Showa and maintained by contemporary bearers. Public figures such as actor-singer Yamashita Tomohisa (山下智久), director Taguchi Tomohisa (田口智久), and singer Sako Tomohisa (佐香智久) have kept the name visible. Nicknames include Tomo and Hisa. Related “Tomo-” names are Tomoya, Tomoki, and Tomonori, while other “-hisa” names include Masahisa and Takehisa.
