Meaning & History

From the verb 助く (tasuku) meaning "to help, save, rescue," from earlier suku with prefixation of 手 (ta), the combining form of te meaning "hand." It can also be combined with a ku kanji, like 来 meaning "arrival," 空 meaning "sky," 久 meaning "long time" or 玖, referring to the numeral nine in legal documents.

Bearers of this name include physician-scientist and immunologist Tasuku Honjo (本庶 佑) (1942-), the 2018 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine, and actor Tasuku Emoto (柄本 佑) (1986-).
