Tips

culture

荣子 corresponds to the Japanese kanji 栄子, read most often as Eiko or Yoshiko — 'glory + child'. Like other 子-ending Japanese names (由纪子, 洋子, 阳子), the kanji are read with Mandarin pronunciations rather than transliterated. The pattern was extremely common for women born before the 1980s.
