Etymology
Tohara (兎原) means "rabbit field" or "field of rabbits" with 兎 (usagi) meaning "rabbit", this being a possible reference to her mother's rabbit like nature and previous role as Cure Whip, while 原 (hara) means "field".

Ichigo (いちご) is a rare Japanese feminine given name meaning "strawberry", which can reference her Pretty Cure alter ego as cheesecakes are commonly known for using strawberries.

Therefore, her name means "strawberry of the rabbit field"

Cure Cheesecake means "a sweet dessert consisting of one or more layers. The main, and thickest layer, consists of a mixture of soft, fresh cheese (typically cream cheese or ricotta), eggs, vanilla and sugar; if there is a bottom layer it often consists of a crust or base made from crushed cookies (or digestive biscuits), graham crackers, pastry, or sponge cake."
