Ako
Ako is a girl name of Japanese origin, meaning Child.
What Ako means
Child.
Ako is short — 3 letters, and ends on a vowel, which tends to make a name sound open and carry well when called across a room.
Where Ako comes from
Japanese given names are written in kanji, and the characters chosen carry the meaning as much as the sound does. The same pronunciation can be written several different ways, each shading the sense differently, so parents pick characters as deliberately as they pick the name itself.
