What is the meaning of the name Kosma ?

The baby name Kosma is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkɒsmə/ (KOS-muh).

Kosma is Greek in Origin.

Kosma is the Slavic and Polish form of Greek Kosmas (Κοσμᾶς), derived from kósmos, a rich word denoting “order, decency,” later “the world, universe,” and by extension “ornament/adornment.” The name carries connotations of harmony and well-ordered beauty, which explains its steady appeal in Christian naming traditions.

Usage spread from the Greek-speaking church through the cult of the physician-martyrs Saints Cosmas and Damian, making Kosma and its cognates common in Byzantine lands and later among Slavic Christians. In Poland, Kosma appears in medieval records and, while uncommon today, has a crisp, distinctive sound favored in contemporary revivals. Close variants include Greek Kosmas and Latin Cosmas; Italian Cosma and the related Cosimo; English/Italian Cosmo; Spanish/Portuguese/French Cosme; South Slavic Kozma; East Slavic Kuzma (with diminutive Kuzya). Feminine counterparts occasionally appear (e.g., Kosmia, Cosmina), though far less common. The surname form exists across Eastern Europe.
