What Does the Name Tatsuki Mean?
Tatsuki is a Japanese given name whose meaning depends on its kanji spelling; when written 立樹, it is glossed "standing tree." Written in hiragana as たつき, it is only a pronunciation and has no lexical meaning. 立樹 combines 立つ (tatsu), "to stand," and 樹 (ki), "tree." Other spellings give different literal senses: 龍樹 or 竜樹 can be understood as "dragon tree," while 達希 can be glossed "attaining hope" (達 "reach, attain" + 希 "hope"). These are alternative character choices for one pronunciation, not separate origins.
Tatsuki Name History & Origins
Tatsuki can be analyzed as a two-element Japanese name. The element tatsu also occurs in names such as Tatsuya and Tatsuaki, and ki is a frequent ending in Japanese given names. Japanese names often use special nanori readings, so the same sound can be matched to different characters. Because the kanji spelling varies, there is no single earlier written form for the name as a whole.
The character combination 龍樹 is also known in Japanese as the name of the Buddhist philosopher Nāgārjuna, read Ryūju; that religious usage is separate from the given name. In modern fiction, Tatsuki Arisawa (有沢 竜貴) is a supporting character in the manga and anime Bleach. That is a later literary use of the name, not evidence of its origin.
