Meaning and background
The story behind Cuomo
Cuomo follows a regional Italian personal-name route. The dictionary derives it from a shortened Neapolitan form of Cosimo and traces that name through Latin Cosmas and Greek Kosmas. That is more specific than a guessed translation from the modern surname's letters. A dog called Cuomo can honor a family or particular namesake, with the Campanian naming background kept separate from the owner's immediate reason for choosing it.
