Amiko
Meaning of Amiko
Amiko (pronounced ah-MEE-koh) is a melodic unisex name woven from the Japanese ami (“friend”) and ko (“child”), which literally means “child of friendship.” It radiates warmth, conjuring images of open arms and heart-to-heart laughter—perfect for little ones destined to forge lasting bonds. Though still a hidden gem—just five babies in the U.S. welcomed the name in 2024, ranking it around the 945th spot—its rarity only deepens its allure. In a world that celebrates both individuality and community, Amiko feels like a soft sunbeam breaking through clouds, gently inviting connection wherever it goes, from Tokyo playgrounds to suburban backyards. Parents who pick it often describe it as fresh yet timeless, a name that fosters friendship with the effortless charm of a secret handshake. And while some might jokingly point out that it almost sounds like a secret coffee-shop code, this gentle name is truly the beginning of something wonderfully welcoming.
