Reading

しお
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you to remember: If you think of the tide, you think of the ocean. If you think of the ocean and what it's filled with (besides water) you think of salt (しお).
