A genus or species name related to quince-bearing or quince-like plants; possibly a botanical classification.
From Latin cotone (quince) plus the suffix -ia, used to form Latin genus or region names.
Botanical Latin is a language unto itself—the suffix -ia can create group names, place names, or classifications, so cotonia suggests 'the quince group or place,' though it's rarely used today.
