    The Story Behind Tokiko

    Tokiko is a traditional Japanese female given name. Like many Japanese names, its meaning can vary depending on the kanji characters used to write it. Common kanji combinations include 時子 (toki 'time' + ko 'child'), 常子 (toki 'eternal, constant' + ko 'child'), and 登喜子 (to 'ascend, thrive' + ki 'joy, happiness' + ko 'child'). The suffix '-ko' (子) meaning 'child' is a very common and traditional ending for female names in Japan, though its popularity has somewhat waned in modern times compared to earlier eras. Names ending in '-ko' were particularly prevalent in the mid-20th century.
