Meaning & origin

Fumiko is a traditional Japanese feminine name that saw its peak usage in the United States in 1923, according to Social Security data. The name has been recorded as early as 1910, but its rank in recent years is not available, indicating extremely low or no usage in modern times. The trajectory of the name has remained stable at very low frequencies since its peak. Fumiko is composed of the elements 'fumi' (abundance) and 'ko' (child), a common suffix for girls in Japan. While it is not associated with any specific top states in recent data, it reflects a classic naming style that was more prevalent in the early 20th century.

Fumiko is a classic Japanese feminine name composed of two elements: fumi (富), meaning 'wealth' or 'abundance', and ko (子), meaning 'child'. The name has been used since at least the early 20th century and reflects a traditional naming pattern where 'ko' is a common suffix for girls. It was most popular in the 1920s.
