Fujiko is Japanese in Origin.

Fujiko is a Japanese feminine given name, most commonly written 藤子, combining fuji (“wisteria”) with ko (“child”), yielding the evocative “wisteria child.” Alternative spellings with different kanji nuance the meaning: 不二子 (“peerless, without equal, child”), and 富士子/冨士子 (“Mount Fuji child”). Pronounced FOO-jee-koh (Japanese fu-dʑi-ko), it belongs to the long tradition of -ko names that convey gentleness and classic refinement.

The name rose with the nationwide -ko boom from the Taishō through mid-Shōwa eras (c. 1910s–1960s), then waned as modern trends favored other endings, yet it retains vintage charm today. Variants include hiragana ふじこ and katakana フジコ; standard romanization is Fujiko (older systems may render Huzi-ko). Diminutives like Fū-chan or Fuji-chan occur in family use. International recognition owes much to the character Mine Fujiko (峰不二子) from Lupin III, further cementing the “peerless child” reading.
