Possible writings

Atsuko can be written using different combinations of kanji characters. Here are some examples:

  • 惇子, "kind, child"
  • 淳子, "pure, child"

Atsuko is generally used as a girl's name. The final syllable "ko" is generally written with the kanji character for child (子). It is a common suffix to female names in Japan and usually indicates that it is a girl's name as masculine Japanese names rarely use the kanji for "child".

The name can also be written in hiragana あつこ or katakana アツコ.
