Ichiko is Japanese in Origin.
Ichiko is a Japanese feminine given name formed from ichi (“one; city/market,” depending on kanji) + ko (“child”). Common writings include 一子 (“first child”), 市子 (“city/market child”), and 伊知子 or 以知子 (“child associated with knowledge/awareness”); as with most Japanese names, meaning shifts with the characters chosen. It may also appear in kana as いちこ or イチコ.
Names ending in -ko were most popular from the Taishō to mid‑Shōwa eras, so Ichiko carries a classic, vintage tone today, with occasional revivals. Variants span alternative kanji, kana-only spellings, and the romanization Itiko (Kunrei/Nihon-shiki). Related but distinct modern names built on ichi include Ichika and Ichigo. Nicknames such as Ichi and Chiko are common. Outside Japan, Ichiko remains rare yet straightforward to pronounce.
