What does Cosmo mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: Ancient Greek

Cosmo comes from the Greek word kosmos, meaning "order" or "the ordered universe" — the same root behind words like "cosmos" and "cosmetic," since kosmos also carried the sense of things arranged just so. It's also a short form of names like Cosimo and Cosmas.

Cosmo has a playful, spacey charm — big in meaning but light and fun to say out loud. It's a great fit for a pet with an adventurous, larger-than-life personality.
