{{nihongo|'''Koishi Komeiji'''|古明地 こいし}} is her full name. Her surname {{nihongo||古明地|Komeiji|lit. "ancient-bright earth"}} is an actual Japanese surname, seen mainly in the [[wikipedia:Yamanashi Prefecture|Yamanashi prefecture]]. There are two common ways to interpret her given name ''Koishi'', based on which kanji are used. The kanji in "{{lang|ja|恋思}}", though not a Japanese word as a compound, mean "will/thought of love." The second writing, "{{lang|ja|小石}}", means "little rock." This could be connected to her ability, indicating her lack of presence, as she is often compared to a little rock sitting on the side of the road in official texts.


Her given name uses only hiragana, but the term "{{lang|ja|小石}}" (ko-ishi, "small rock"), referring to anonymous pebbles on the side of roads, is frequently used to refer to the character.
The ending of Koishi's storyline in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' suggests the origin for the name of Koishi. "Once hope is lost no one will be able to see her (Koishi) again, just like a small rock ({{lang|ja|小石}}, pronounced ''koishi'' as well) on the roadside."
