Chiyeko is Japanese in Origin.

Chiyeko is a Japanese feminine given name composed of chie (知恵/智恵, “wisdom, insight; blessing”) plus the suffix -ko (子, “child”). It may also be written with alternate kanji such as 千恵子 (“thousand blessings child”) or 千枝子 (“thousand branches child”), so the nuance varies with characters. The inserted y in the romanization reflects an older or phonetic rendering of the glide between i and e; in modern Hepburn the same name is usually written Chieko and pronounced che-eh-ko (three morae).

Use of -ko names surged in Japan from the Taishō through mid‑Shōwa eras, making Chiyeko/Chieko especially common among women born mid‑20th century; its popularity declined after the 1980s but endures as a classic and in diaspora communities. Variants and related forms include Chieko (standard spelling), Chie (short form), Chiyo, and Chiyoko (千代子, “thousand generations child”). Alternative romanizations may appear in older records.
