What is the meaning of the name Kako ?

The baby name Kako is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'Japanese_IPA': '/kako/', 'English_approximation': 'KAH-koh'}.

Kako is Georgian, Japanese in Origin.

Kako is a Japanese given name, most often feminine, whose meaning depends on the kanji selected. Frequent renderings include 佳子 ("excellent/beautiful child") and 香子 ("fragrant child"); other element choices such as 加 (increase), 果 (fruit/result), or 夏 (summer) combined with 子 ("child") are also seen. It may also be written in kana as かこ or カコ. Note that "kako" is a homophone of the common noun 過去 ("the past"), though that spelling is not used for the name.

Names ending in -ko were especially popular in Japan in the early to mid-20th century, declined later, and have seen a selective revival; modern visibility comes from Princess Kako of Akishino (佳子, b. 1994). Outside Japan, Kako appears as a Georgian masculine nickname, often short for Kakhaber/Kakha, giving the name a cross-cultural, unisex profile. Romanization is uniformly Kako; diminutives are rare beyond the short form itself.
