Meaning of Masako

Masako has a gentle melody that dances off the tongue like sunbeams at dawn. Originating in Japan and pronounced mah-sah-koh, it often carries the graceful meaning “elegant child.” In early 20th-century Hawaii, Masako warmed baby-name charts with its island charm, proof of its enduring appeal across seas. This name invites visions of a spirited niña with alma llena de luz, ready to write her own beautiful story—and maybe outshine everyone at karaoke night. It’s a choice that blends tradition and hope, with just enough sparkle to inspire every step she takes.
