About Cosette

Cosette is a feminine given name documented in English, French and Spanish.

Etymology in the sources

Source-reported

(Nom de famille) Variante de Cozette. (Prénom) Surnom d’Euphrasie dans Les Misérables de Victor Hugo: Cosette, lisez Euphrasie. La petite se nommait Euphrasie. Mais d’Euphrasie la mère avait fait Cosette, par ce doux et gracieux instinct des mères et du peuple qui change Josefa en Pepita et Françoise en Sillette. C’est là un genre de dérivés qui dérange et déconcerte toute la science des étymologistes. Nous avons connu une grand’mère qui avait réussi à faire de Théodore, Gnon. — (Victor Hugo, Les Misérables)

About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Cosette” as recorded by the publisher. When a spelling has several independent origins, the counts are not split between them. Counts measure applications. Gaps are years without a published value, not zeros.

Rates per million are unavailable for this series because no compatible denominator has been imported.

Universe: US national Social Security card applications by name, sex and birth year; not a complete birth registry, especially before 1937.
Rounding: Integer application counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: Only names with at least 5 occurrences in a year and sex are included. Missing observations are not zeros.
Ranking: computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips. The mirror's derived rank column is not used.
