Japanese origin
“A classic Japanese feminine name combining the elements 'fusa' (房, meaning 'bunch' or 'cluster') and 'ko' (子, meaning 'child'). This name carries a gentle, botanical quality and was moderately popular in mid-20th-century Japan. The imagery of clustered beauty evokes a delicate, interconnected nature.”
