Cosme Origin and Meaning

The name Cosme is a boy's name.

Cosme is a masculine name derived from the Greek name Kosmas, meaning 'order' or 'harmony.' It shares roots with the word 'cosmos,' reflecting the ordered universe. Popular in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries, Cosme has been carried by various saints, including Saints Cosmas and Damian, twin brother physicians and martyrs from the 3rd century. While uncommon in English-speaking countries, it maintains consistent usage in Latin cultures, particularly in Mexico and Brazil. The name has a sophisticated, international quality with its simple two-syllable structure. Pronunciation varies slightly between cultures, but it's typically KOZ-may or KOS-meh. Its connection to cosmic harmony gives it philosophical depth despite its brevity.
