Meaning & origin
Momoko is a Japanese name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1985 and saw its peak usage in 2001. Despite never ranking in the top 1000, the name has maintained a stable presence, particularly among families with Japanese heritage or those drawn to its melodic sound and positive meanings. The name's components, 'momo' (hundred or peach) and 'ko' (child), are common in Japanese naming traditions, and while no top states have recorded significant usage, it remains a recognizable choice for those seeking a distinctly Japanese name.
Momoko is a Japanese female name typically written with kanji characters such as 百 (momo, 'one hundred') and 子 (ko, 'child'), giving the meaning 'hundred child' or 'child of a hundred blessings'. It can also be written with 桃 (momo, 'peach') and 子 (ko), meaning 'peach child'. The name gained popularity in Japan from the late 20th century onward, reflecting a trend for names with the suffix -ko ('child').
