This valuable little life you’ve been entrusted with is truly a treasure, so it’s natural that you may want to choose a name to reflect that. Across various cultures and languages, parents have had the same desire to commemorate their love for their child with treasure names.
There are several names from various Asian cultures that mean “treasure.” The Japanese name Takara can be used for either a girl or a boy and it means “treasure” or “jewel.” It’s closely related to the Vietnamese and Chinese name Bảo. In Vietnam and China, this name is used for more often for boys and carries the same meaning.
