What does Choco mean?
/ˈt͡ʃɒkəʊ/

Choco is short for chocolate, the sweet treat whose name traces back to the Nahuatl word xocolatl, brought into Spanish and then English by way of Mesoamerica. As a pet name, Choco leans on the word itself rather than any formal name etymology, chosen for the rich brown color and the treat it evokes.

It's a warm, cozy name that suits a pet with a deep brown coat or an easygoing, sweet-natured personality. Choco feels approachable and a little playful without trying too hard.
