If I meat a white Momoko, I'd assume she was born in Japan. If I met Japanese Americans named Melissa, I'd know she's American, or if she were Midori, I'd know her family still feels a connection to Japan.

For any ethnic name, I'd assume the parents have some sort of connection to where the name is from. They could be the children of immigrants or an honoring name from the person who moved here.
