What does Coco mean?
/ˈkəʊkə/2 syllables

Coco is the French and Spanish word for "coconut," and it has long been used as an affectionate pet form of names like Colette and Nicole. Its short, doubled syllables give it the easy rhythm of a nickname rather than a formal name.

Coco has a warm, playful sound that suits a pet with rich brown or golden coloring, though it wears just as well on any companion with a bit of sweetness and spark.
