Japanese name Kyoko?

Question

I would like to know how to write Kyoko in Japanese... Please help me...

Answer 1

There are LOTS of potential kanji for this! But my favourite site which has gifs of the kanji is down, so I hope you can see Japanese fonts on your computer!!
Kyo (きょ) possibilities;
巨 meaning big; large; great
歔 meaning cry
倨 meaning pride
Kyou (きょう) possibilities, (this just makes the 'o' vowel sound a bit longer);
興 meaning interest; entertainment; pleasure
今日 meaning today; this day
劫 meaning threat; long ages
香 meaning lance (this one's an abbreviation.)
匡 meaning correct; save; assist
凶 meaning evil; bad luck; disaster; bad harvest
経 meaning sutra; Buddhist scriptures
僑 meaning temporary home
脅 meaning threaten; coerce
匈 meaning turmoil; Hungary
兇 meaning wickedness
供 meaning offer; present; submit; serve (a meal); supply
強 meaning a little over; a little more than (this is used as a suffix.)
協 meaning cooperation;
狂 meaning (some type of) enthusiast; (2) somebody possessed of a (certain kind of) mental abnormality

The 'ko' that was used at the end of girls' names in the past (it's not used very often these days,) is this;
子 meaning child.
That's why it's not used very often now - you've got all these adult women with 'child' at the end of their name! It's a bit silly really, but you could always use a different 'ko' if you want!
弧 meaning arc
巨 meaning big; large; great
古 meaning old (this is normally a prefix.)

Well, that's all I can find with the help of one of my favourite sites http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C
but there are probably lots of other, more obscure variations ... when it comes to names, people seem to pluck ideas out of thin air sometimes!
; )

Cyn was right! I forgot the obvious one!!
京 meaning city / metropolis!! That's the Kyou in Kyoto AND Tokyo! I don't know how I managed to forget it! It also means 10 quadrillion (in American) a 1 with 16 zeros after it!!

Answer 2

☆Yozora gave you the BEST info!☆～～ ♡I live in Japan too and one of my friends Kyoko writes her name as: 京子 in her case, it's a very simple kanji. Believe it or not, although I may know 3 ladies named Kyoko, they may each use different kanji in their name. The Japanese language, which often (if not always) regard the written form as being so much more important than the oral form. ☆Look at yozora's list it's excellent! My friend Kyoko (She's here now.) said you must be careful because although in her case "京子" might be her name "Kyoko" it can also mean: "Kiyôko", "Kiyoko", "Keiko", "Keishi" or even "Takako"! In Japan, if someone just tells me their name, I can't just write it in kanji unless they teach me the kanji they use FIRST!♡

Answer 3

今日古- it means old today but this can be a possibilty of kyoko in Kanji (chinese characters which are also used in Japanese).

good luck.

Answer 4

Just Use katakana........キョコ....Its the safest if you don't want to upset her with the wrong Kanjis.
Cheers!!
