The name harmoniously blends traditional Japanese influences with a touch of numerological significance. It is often used as a feminine name but can also be found among individuals who identify as male.
The name Hatsuko experienced fluctuations in popularity between 1911 and 1932, with peaks in the mid to late teens (1915-1918) and a decline thereafter, never rising above 16 births per year after 1922.
