Meaning & origin
Cozetta is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1912, a time when ornate diminutives ending in 'etta' were in vogue. It reached its highest usage in 1929, the peak year for the name, but never achieved widespread popularity and has remained extremely rare since. The trajectory of the name has been stable, meaning it has stayed consistently uncommon for decades, never experiencing a dramatic rise or fall. Unlike many names from that era, Cozetta has not seen a revival in recent years. The name's similarity to Cosette from Victor Hugo's Les Misérables may have influenced its early adoption, though Cozetta itself has maintained a distinct presence. With no top states recording notable use, Cozetta remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking an obscure vintage name.
Cozetta likely originated as a feminine diminutive form of the name Coz, an English surname or nickname, or as a variant of Cosette, from Victor Hugo's 1862 novel Les Misérables. The name saw modest use in the United States in the early 20th century, peaking in the 1920s.
