Girl Names Ending in O
- Kazuko
Origin:

"child of peace"Description:
Kazuko is a Japanese feminine name that combines the character kazu ("harmony") with ko ("child"), creating a name that in total symbolises a child of peace. In Japan, names ending in ‘ko’ are rarely used as they now sound oldfashioned. More ‘trendy’ names are Kazumi (which means beautiful peace and can me used on both boys and girls), Kazuki (a masculine name meaning hope of peace) and Kazuo (also a masculine name meaning man of peace). The emphasis is on the first syllable, so it is said "KA-zoo-ko".

Nyco remains quite rare in usage statistics, appealing to parents seeking truly distinctive options.

While some measures have been taken to rehabilitate the image of the book, the name Sambo seems terminally tainted.
