Origin:British
Meaning:Son of Cocke; Son of Cook; Rooster; Cook
Whether they're a future culinary genius or a farmer at heart, the masculine name Cox will suit your new arrival. Traditionally a last name, Cox once denoted a "son of Cocke" or a "son of Cook," children of those with the last names Cocke or Cook. Deriving from the Middle English word cok, Cocke means "rooster," so Cox could be a fitting choice for a tiny tot who's always the first in your home to wake up and make their presence known! Cook was historically an occupational title for someone who worked as a "cook," and Cox carries that history in its three letters. In the years to come, when your little one asks to lick the spoon or offers to taste test a finished meal, you'll be reminded of their name's beginnings.
