Etymology

 * The name Kanako is written in hiragana (かなこ), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (加奈子, 香菜子 or 香奈子), it could possibly mean:
 * 加奈子 - "add, increase" (加) (ka), "apple tree" (奈) (na) and "child" (子) (ko).
 * 香菜子 - "fragrance, fragrant" (香) (ka), "vegetables, greens" (菜) (na) and "child" (子) (ko).
 * 香奈子 - "fragrance, fragrant" (香) (ka), "apple tree" (奈) (na) and "child" (子) (ko).
 * Kanako's surname Iida means "food, meals" (飯) (ii) and "field, rice paddy" (田) (ta/da), which literally means "paddy :of cooked rice" altogether.
 * Perhaps the original meaning of the name Iida was "good rice paddy".
 * The name Iida is also found on Okinawa Island.
