Origin:French
Meaning:Brandy, a wine produced in Cognac
Have a toast to your lovely little one with the gender-neutral name Cognac. Referring to a place in France that produces high-quality brandy distilled from wine, Cognac has a luxurious feel paired with French pizazz. It serves as a place and last name and is used very rarely as a given name. The term Cognac is believed to stem from the Latin Cominius, a Roman family name, with the Gallo-Roman suffix -acum. While its translation is somewhat of a mystery for now, there's no denying Cognac's French charm and elevated vibe.
