Meaning in the sources
Source-reportedMeaning: “peach” + “child”
From 桃(もも) (momo, “peach”) + 子(こ) (-ko, “child”, suffix used in female given names). Alternate spellings are from irregular reading of the kanji 杏 (“apricot”) as もも (momo, “peach”) and respelling with the unrelated archaic Japanese term 百(もも) (momo, “hundred”).
