I've also seen it spelled Kyoko meaning "mirror." I could be wrong, though. A pretty name for a baby girl.

If you separate the "kiyo" into separate kanji, you can make some other choices as well:
"ki":
-honour/worship/respect
-joy
-writings
-turtle
"yo":
-generation
-world
"ko":
-child
Using "joy" and "world" together with "child" would be a fun name to give a baby born near Christmas ("Joy to the World The Lord (Christ child) is come..."). Some Japanese celebrate Christmas and a few even know what it's about.
Another variation on the name is Kiyomi.

It is also said to mean "pure." Kiyoko is a rather popular name, used in such movies as "Tokyo Godfathers" and "Akira."
