Momoyo is a Japanese given name whose meaning varies with the kanji. Common spellings include 百代 or 百世 (“a hundred generations; eternity”), drawing on the classical expression momo-yo found in the Man’yōshū and other early literature to evoke enduring time and lineage. Alternative choices use 桃 (“peach”) + 代/世 (“generation/era”), yielding “peach generation” and connotations of vitality and long life, since peaches symbolize longevity in East Asian folklore. Less usual forms like 百葉/桃葉 (“hundred/peach leaves”) appear in name registers as well. The name may also be written purely in kana (ももよ).
