Cosima is Italian in Origin.
Cosima is the Italian and German feminine form of Cosimo, ultimately tracing to Greek Kosmas, from kosmos meaning order, harmony, and ornament, later the world. The name thus carries senses of balance, beauty, and adornment, with an undercurrent of universal scope. Devotion to the physician-martyrs Saints Cosmas and Damian helped sustain the family of names across Christian Europe; Cosima appears in Italian records from the early modern era, though always uncommon.
Recognition spread in the 19th century via Cosima Wagner (1837-1930), daughter of Franz Liszt and later director of the Bayreuth Festival, giving the name an artistic, cultivated profile. Today Cosima remains rare but stylish in Italy, Germany, the UK, and Australia. Variants and related forms include Cosma and Cosmina (Romanian); masculine counterparts are Cosimo (Italian), Cosmo (English), Cosme (Spanish/French), Greek Kosmas, and Slavic Kuzma. Nicknames: Cosi, Sima. Many calendars mark a name day around 26 September.
