Meaning & History

This name is used as 磯 (ki, iso) meaning "beach, seashore," implying that, according to Sakaye Suzuki, the girl being given this name may have been born close to the coast/shore.

It was initially very uncommon in the early part of the Edo period (1603-1868) but it became slightly more popular towards the latter part of that period. The name later dropped in popularity from the 1880s and 1890s.
