Yuta is Japanese in Origin.

Yuta is a Japanese masculine given name whose basic written reading is the phonographic kana ゆた, a three-mora sequence yu-ta. Japanese names do not have a single inherited root in the Indo-European sense; the reading is primary, while kanji supply the lexical content. Common spellings include 優太, with 優 gentle, excellent and 太 thick, great, and 結大, combining 結 tie, bind with 大 big, great. Thus its literal sense is kanji-dependent rather than fixed.

Yūta, written ゆうた, is the better-attested modern form, and romanization often blurs it with short-vowel Yuta. Both belong to late twentieth- and twenty-first-century Japanese naming patterns favoring open vowels and auspicious kanji such as 悠 distant, leisurely, 勇 brave, or 優 gentle. The name is most often male, though individual spellings can be unisex. Public bearers include badminton player Yuta Watanabe, 渡辺勇大, and fictional Yuta Okkotsu of Jujutsu Kaisen.
