Hinata (向日, ひなた) means "facing the sun" or "sunny spot" in Japanese. Used as a unisex given name.
Hinata Hyūga is a central character in Naruto, and Shōyō Hinata is the lead in Haikyu!!.
Hinata does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Hinata reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
