The kanji 浦浦 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいもじ). It combines the water radical 氵 (water) on the left with the phonetic component 甫 (ho) on the right. 甫甫 originally meant "beginning" or "to start," and by extension, was used phonetically to represent the sound. The combination of water radical and the phonetic component suggests a place where water starts to form a bay or inlet. Over time, it came to represent "bay" or "shore."
