Coco

/ˈkoʊkoʊ/ noun

Definition

Referring to coconut, cocoa, or sometimes used as a nickname or brand name.

Etymology

From Spanish and Portuguese 'coco' meaning 'coconut,' from 'coco' (grinning face) due to the three holes resembling a face. Also relates to 'cocoa' through different etymological paths.

Kelly Says

The word 'coco' for coconut comes from Spanish explorers who thought the three holes on a coconut looked like a grimacing face or skull. This same root gives us both 'coconut' and influenced 'cocoa' through complex linguistic borrowing.
