Origins of name

Meiko is of Japanese heritage; her maternal grandmother from Japan died when she was eight years old. According to Meiko, her grandmother felt a strong urge to assimilate into American culture and only spoke English to her children, never Japanese, and so, Meiko and her mother never learned much of the language or the culture. After her grandmother's death, she and her sister began to refer to one another as Meiko and Keiko, both Japanese names. However, without a Japanese speaker to help them, they mispronounced them as "mee-ko" and "kee-ko," whereas they are actually pronounced "may-ko" and "kay-ko." Though Meiko later learned they'd been pronouncing the names incorrectly, they "didn't have the heart to change it."
