Possible meanings

As with many Japanese names, Keiko can be written using a number of different kanji. Some of the most common ways of writing Keiko are:
  • 恵子 — "lucky child"
  • 敬子 — "respectful child"
  • 景子 — "sunlight/view/scenic child"
  • 桂子 — "katsura tree child"
  • 圭子 — "blessed child"
  • 慶子 — "happy child"
  • 啓子 — "open /express/spring child"
  • 硅子 — "silicon child"
The suffix ko implies the name is female and the name is almost never given to males. Much less commonly, Keiko can also be written as 螢子, 輕子, or 軽子.
