  4. Cozette
    • Description:

      Cozette is a delicate feminine name that likely evolved as a diminutive form of the French name Cosette, famously featured in Victor Hugo's novel 'Les Misérables.' The original name may derive from the French 'chose' meaning 'thing' used as a term of endearment, or possibly from the Greek 'kosmos' meaning 'order' or 'harmony.' The spelling with 'z' gives it a modern twist while maintaining its French charm. Cozette has a gentle, melodic quality that suggests refinement and femininity. Though rare in official records, it appeals to parents drawn to French-inspired names with literary connections. The name carries a romantic, vintage feel while still sounding fresh and distinctive in contemporary contexts.
