This is my name, my mother got this name from the movie, 'A Girl Named Tamiko'. In the movie the meaning of the name is "Beautiful Flower". Coincidently when I was born, a Japanese lady that worked at the hospital where I was born told my mother also that was her name as well and the meaning is "Beautiful or Pretty Flower". I know one other lady that has the same name and same spelling and coincidently her mother named her as well from the same movie. She also says that this is the meaning of our name.
