Ekko

A name with a modern vibe and plenty of energy, as an English name, Ekko may well be a twist on the Greek Echo, both a word referring to a repeated, reverberating sound, and to a mythological nymph, cursed by the goddess Hera to only repeat the last words spoken to her. Given to 15 babies in the US in a recent year, it may appeal to fans of Hero, Juno, and Indigo.

This form also coincides with the Danish and Norwegian word for "echo", making it feel less like a 'creative' spelling and more like name with cross-cultural appeal.

If you like the idea of Ekko but find it a little too out there, you could consider it as a nickname to Erika.

Pronounced EK-oh.

As of October 2026, Ekko ranked #9627 in US births in 2025 SSA.
