What is the meaning of the name Kikuno ?

The baby name Kikuno is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced KEE-koo-noh (Japanese: [kikɯno], IPA: /kikɯno/).

Kikuno is Japanese in Origin.

Kikuno is a Japanese feminine given name (also found as a surname) based on kiku, “chrysanthemum,” and the feminine particle or element no. Common spellings include 菊乃 (“of the chrysanthemum”) and 菊野 (“chrysanthemum field”); both invoke the flower revered as a symbol of longevity, autumn, and imperial dignity. Alternative name-kanji swap in 喜久乃, where kiku is written “joy” + “long time,” shifting the sense toward “long-lasting joy.” It may also appear in hiragana (きくの) or katakana (キクノ).

Names built on kiku were especially favored from the late Meiji through early Shōwa eras, when nature imagery and classical suffixes for girls were in vogue; Kikuno feels vintage-chic today but remains legible and elegant. Related forms include Kiku (simple), Kikue, Kikuyo, and Kikuko; Kiku serves as a familiar nickname. Romanization is typically Kikuno (occasionally Kikunō in macrons).
