Toyoko is a Japanese given name for females. It consists of two kanji characters, "豊" (Toyo) meaning abundant or rich, and "子" (ko) meaning child. Thus, Toyoko translates to "abundant child." This name has been used in Japan since the Meiji period but gained popularity during the Showa era. Notable individuals with this name include Toyoko Fukuda, a prominent Japanese journalist and writer, and Toyoko Yamazaki, an award-winning novelist. The name Toyoko is often shortened to "Toyo" or "Yoko," but it maintains its unique charm as a traditional yet distinctive Japanese female name.
"The name Toyoko experienced a gradual increase in popularity between 1913 and 1925, peaking at 22 births in 1925. After that period, the number of annual births with this name fluctuated but remained relatively stable until 1930."
