Meaning & History
From verbs 建つ (tatsu) meaning "to be erected/built" or 立つ (tatsu) meaning "to stand, rise, stand up" or from 竜/龍 (tatsu) meaning "dragon" (likely cognate with 立つ), modelled to look like it came from a verb ending in -ru.
Other kanji related to the verbs include 樹 meaning "tree" and 健 meaning "health," also including 達, with the on'yomi reading of tatsu meaning "reach, arrive, attain." They can also be suffixed with a ru kanji, like 瑠/琉, part of 瑠璃/琉璃 (ruri) meaning “lapis lazuli,” 流 meaning "current, flow" or 留 meaning "stop."
For females, it is mainly written phonetically but it can also be written with a ta kanji, like 多 meaning "many, much," combined with 鶴 (tsuru), referring to the crane.
