Meaning and background
The story behind Coca
Coca has a Spanish habitational surname history from named places in Segovia and Salamanca. The dictionary also suggests Italian relationships with Cocca or Coco, with different levels of uncertainty. Neither route should be replaced by an unrelated modern word or product association just because the letters match. If Coca is chosen for a dog, it can preserve an exact family spelling while the reference keeps its geographical and proposed Italian origins distinct.
- Origin
