What does Coconut mean?
/ˈkoʊ.kəˌnʌt/

Coconut names the large seed of the coconut palm, Cocos nucifera — technically a drupe rather than a true nut, with a fibrous brown husk surrounding a hard shell.

Coconut is a sweet, tropical-sounding name that suits a pet with a light brown or white-and-brown coat. It has a cheerful, beachy warmth to it.
