Celebrate your child's youth with the endearing name Ko. Rooted in Japanese, written as 子, it translates to "child" for boys. In Japanese culture, Ko is often added to a name to symbolize the innocence of one’s early years, as is seen in the adorable Nezuko from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Ko also doubles as a Korean surname, and can be spelled as Go, Goh, or Koh. It has historical significance on Jeju Island, where it was the name of Go Eul-na, the inaugural ruler of the kingdom of Tamna.
