Meaning & Origin of Miyako
Origin: Japanese.
A common claim: Commonly said to mean 'beautiful child,' from kanji for beauty plus 'child.' Actually: The 'beautiful child' gloss reflects just one of several possible kanji spellings for Miyako; since the name can also be written with characters unrelated to 'beauty' (such as 都, 'capital'), it doesn't have one single fixed meaning.
