This name combines 隆 (ryuu, taka) meaning "high, hump, noble, prosperity," 孝 (kyou, kou, taka) meaning "child's respect, filial piety," 高 (kou, taka.i, taka, -daka, taka.maru, taka.meru) meaning "expensive, high, tall," 尭 (gyou, taka.i) meaning "far, high" or 鷹 (ou, you, taka) meaning "hawk" with 丸 (gan, maru, maru.i, maru.meru) meaning "curl up, explain away, full, make round, month, perfection, pills, roll up, round, seduce".

Before the Meiji Period (1868-1912), -maru (丸) was used as a suffix denoting affection (along with -maro {麿/麻呂}) and was given to boys of upper class until they reached 14.

This name is rarely given to boys, if given at all.

A fictional bearer of this name is Takamaru (鷹丸), a character from the Famicom game 'The Mysterious Murasame Castle'.

Takamaru (高丸) is also used as a surname.
