Meaning and history

Noriko is a Japanese feminine name whose meaning depends on the kanji. Common writings include 典子, “law” or “ceremony” with “child,” 紀子, “chronicle” with “child,” and 法子, “law” or “method” with “child.” Many other combinations are possible, so the romanization has no fixed translation. Notable bearers include Japanese actor Noriko Sakai and Princess Noriko Senge. Exact interpretation requires the bearer’s written characters.
