I am Filipino with Japanese blood and ancestry. I don't know how much Japanese
is in my blood but when I was born, my mother named me Yurishiko. I just
wanted to know if my name is Japanese as it sounds a little unusual. I did not
find any other Japanese people online with the same name as me. Is Yurishiko a
Japanese name?

Is my name, Yurishiko, a Japanese name?
As @AeonAkechi says, the name definitely has a Japanese ring to it.

However, _Yurishiko_ doesn't seem to be a standard romanization of a common
Japanese name, as ゆりしこ as a name is very uncommon (if it exists at all).

That said, it could well be related to the name ゆり **ひ** こ, which would be
_Yurihiko_ in standard romanization and could for example be written 百合彦 or
由利彦.

Indeed ～彦【ひこ】 _-hiko_ is a [common suffix for a male
name](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/44536/1628) and [ひ _hi_ is often
mistaken for し _shi_](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/1437/1628).
