Miyako is a traditional Japanese given name for females, derived from the kanji characters 美 (mi) meaning 'beautiful', and яко (yako) meaning 'child'. This name has been popular among Japanese families throughout history, and it holds significant cultural value due to its aesthetic significance.
Miyako experienced a peak in popularity between 1918 and 1923 with consistently high birth numbers, then dipped until the late 1990s when it began to rise again with intermittent spikes up to recent years.
