Editorial notes
Cultural context
- The reading はる appears with multiple kanji spellings. Cross-gender reading evidence should not be treated as exact-spelling evidence.
Pronunciation notes
- Haru has two mora, は・る; the English guide is approximate.
Common misunderstandings
- The spring character does not prove a bearer was born in spring or that the family chose the name for that reason.
