Kossey as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Kossey

What is the meaning of the name Kossey ?

The baby name Kossey is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KOSS-ee,/ˈkɒsi/,/ˈkɔːsi/.

Kossey is Irish in Origin.

Kossey is a rare given name with its clearest link to the Ewe and related Gbe languages of West Africa, where Kossi/Kosi denotes a boy born on Sunday; the -ey spelling reads as an Anglicized rendering while preserving the same meaning. In Togolese and Ghanaian communities it functions as a day name, comparable to Akan names that index birth days, and has travelled into the diaspora since the late 20th century.

Beyond this, Kossey occurs as a family name in English-language records, often as a spelling variant of Cossey, a locative surname from Norfolk, and is sometimes conflated with Slavic forms built on kos “blackbird” (e.g., Kos, Kosy). This cross-linguistic tangle has produced multiple spellings: Kossi, Kosi, Kossy, Kosey, Kosy, Cossey, and Cossy. As a given name, Kossey remains uncommon, yet its bright, weekday-linked meaning gives it a warm, lively feel.
