As two kanji, it can be used as 岐与, 喜代, 喜世, 貴代, 岐與, 記代, 亀代 or 喜与 with 岐 (ki, gi) meaning "branch off, diverge," 喜 (ki, yoroko.basu, yoroko.bu) meaning "rejoice, pleasure," 貴 (ki, tatto.i, tatto.bu, touto.i, touto.bu) meaning "precious, prize, value," 記 (ki, shiru.su) meaning "account, inscribe," 亀 (ki, kyuu, kin, kame) meaning "tortoise, turtle," 代 (tai, dai, ka.eru, ka.waru, kawa.ru, -gawa.ri, -ga.wari, shiro, yo) meaning "age, change, generation, period, replace, substitute" and 世 (se, sei, sou, sanjuu, yo) meaning "generation, public, society, world." Though very uncommon at first, Kiyo became a popular name throughout most of the Edo period (1603-1868) and it stayed that way well into the end of the Meiji period (1868-1912) by which, then, it started to become slightly more uncommon.
