Origins

Etymology

Sadako’s name is Japanese for “chaste child” (sada: chaste and ko: child). This may be an indication of her inability to reproduce in the novels due to Testicular Feminization Syndrome and her obsession with procreating in the later novels. In Japan, the name has since been negatively associated with ghosts, though it was once a popular name for girls.
