What is the meaning of the name Coco ?

The baby name Coco is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkoʊkoʊ/ (US),/ˈkəʊkəʊ/ (UK).

Coco is English, French, Spanish in Origin.

Coco is a cross-linguistic diminutive with a bright, playful sound. In French and Italian it functions as a pet name (French coco/cocotte "darling"; Italian cocco "dear one"), while in Spanish and Portuguese coco means "coconut," a word traced to medieval Iberian coco, "grinning face," inspired by the nut’s three eye-like marks. As a given name in English, Coco retains this affectionate, sunny aura.

Usage grew from nickname to standalone in the 20th century. Coco Chanel (born Gabrielle) made it internationally stylish, and later figures such as model Coco Rocha and tennis star Coco Gauff (born Cori) kept it current. It commonly shortens Colette, Corinne, Constance, Courtney, Nicolette/Nicole, and in Spanish sometimes Socorro; it is occasionally unisex. Variants and spellings include Koko and CoCo; related playful forms include Cocoa. The name conveys chic charm and warmth rather than a fixed traditional meaning.
