Origin and meaning of Cosimo
Cosimo comes from the Greek kósmos, 'order, harmony, ornament, world,' through the name Cosmas. Its meaning thus evokes ordered, universal beauty. Common above all in Italy, especially in Tuscany, it is inseparable from the Medici family and from Cosimo the Elder, the great patron of the Florentine Renaissance. With its elegant, ancient sound, it evokes culture, enlightened power and a love of the arts — a name of strong historical, Tuscan stamp, refined yet robust, and newly appreciated today.
