What is the meaning of the name Amiko ?

The baby name Amiko is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: ah-MEE-koh (/əˈmiːkoʊ/); Japanese/Esperanto: a-MEE-ko (/aˈmiko/).

Amiko is Japanese in Origin.

Amiko is a Japanese feminine name built on the suffix -ko ("child"), with its sense determined by the kanji chosen for Ami + ko. Common pairings include 愛美子 ("love, beauty, child"), 亜美子 ("Asia/second, beauty, child"), 雨子 ("rain child"), or 網子 ("net/weave child"). Names ending in -ko flourished in the mid-20th century, giving Amiko a classic vintage tone; it is now rare yet familiar in form.

Beyond Japanese use, amiko in Esperanto means "friend," a coincidence that sometimes inspires given-name use among Esperantists. Variants are mainly orthographic (different kanji), with nicknames Ami and Miko; related names include Emiko and Aiko in Japanese, plus Amica (Italian/Latin "friend"). Overall meaning ranges from "child of love and beauty" to "rain child," depending on kanji, while the Esperanto reading adds a universal friend nuance.
