"桃子" meaning in Japanese

See 桃子 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [mo̞mo̞ko̞] Forms: 桃子 [canonical] (ruby: (もも), ()), Momoko [romanization]
Etymology: 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”).
