A name that means "help; chocolate".

Coco is a French nickname — most famously borne by Coco Chanel (1883-1971), born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. The nickname's origin is debated; it may come from songs she sang in her early cabaret career.

Coco entered the U.S. top 1000 in 2017 and is rising rapidly.

Where Coco stands.

Coco does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
