Why femoid names end in 'ko' and male names end in 'hito'
Why femoid names end in 'ko' and male names end in 'hito'
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]子 ko means "child," and is frequently used in Japanese female names in general.[/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]仁 hito in this case, means something like "benevolence," or "humanity." Japanese families frequently have a kanji that their male heirs share, and 仁 is the one for the royal family going back hundreds of years.[/font]
