Meaning and background
The story behind Coquita
Coquita has an exact dictionary entry for a strong fiber obtained from the coquito palm and used for cordage. That botanical material association is narrower than the many affectionate meanings someone might guess from the ending. If a dog is called Coquita after a family nickname, that motivation remains separate. The cited evidence supports the palm-fiber word without inventing a universal given-name translation.
