From Japanese 黒 (kuro) meaning "black" and 柳 (yanagi) meaning "willow".

Kuru Japanese
Japanese: though written with the character for ‘give’ or ‘present’, the original meaning may actually be ‘sunset’. The name is listed in the Shinsen shōjiroku and is no longer common in Japan, but there is a city by that name in Hiroshima prefecture and the area may have ancient connections with the family.

Kurumi 栗 Japanese (Rare)
From 栗 (kurumi) meaning "chestnut".
