Koke as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Koke

What is the meaning of the name Koke ?

The baby name Koke is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish IPA: /ˈkoke/ — approximate English respelling: KOH-keh.

Koke is Spanish in Origin.

Koke (pronounced KOH-keh) is a Spanish hypocoristic of Jorge, the equivalent of George. The spelling with K is a contemporary, eye-catching twist on older nicknames Coque and Coke; Spanish orthography seldom uses K, so Koke reads modern and informal. Its meaning follows Jorge/George, from Greek Georgios, combining ge 'earth' and ergon 'work,' hence 'farmer' or 'earth-worker'.

In practice Koke functions mainly as a nickname in Spain, made familiar by footballers, but it also appears occasionally as a formal given name from the late 20th century onward. Usage is strongest in Spain, with rarer adoption in Hispanic communities abroad. Variants include Coque, Coke, and Jorgito; feminine links point to Georgina or Georgiana. Unrelatedly, in Japanese koke means 'moss', a lexical coincidence rather than an origin.
