History & Origin

Cozetta reached a small number of girls in the twentieth century, with a quiet high around 1947. It most likely elaborates Cosette, a French pet name made famous by Hugo's novel, and reads as a warm literary coinage rather than a name with a dictionary root.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, and reads as a soft, storybook name. A girl named Cozetta then would be in her seventies today. The name keeps a gentle, romantic ring and a faint tie to the beloved novel.

Did you know? Cosette, the child Jean Valjean raises in Les Miserables, was Victor Hugo's own coinage; Cozetta gives that tender literary name a fuller, -etta ending.
