Some thoughts about our name:
* some significant statistics: Kokocinski is the 62,772nd most popular last name (surname) in the United States; frequency is 0.000%; percentile is 87.741 [Source: CBN].
* but actually, the name is not as unusual as it might seem: the German phone book lists abaut 42 entries (www.teleauskunft.de), an US-american lists 52 (www.infospace.com) and every once in a while other Kokocinski's from Germany, France, Poland and the United States run into these pages...
* The 1930s US census lists more than 2000 entries!
* The (very amusing) web page "HowManyOfMe" currently states, that there are around 150 people in the U.S. with the last name Kokocinski.
* looking at the ending it sounds like a typical name from the polish area.So let's try around a little
ko-ko - that's a sound a hen makes (in Poland)
kokoszka - a sitting hen, which just laid an egg
kokoszyc - to boss (with a bit of a negative meaning)
-well, maybe not what I was looking for..
* but then think of Kokopelli, a religious figure of the indians in the southwest of North America:
here koko means wood and
pilau stands for hump
the stories of the Anasazi describe him as a hunchbacked wandering god of fertility and joy, bringing springtime into the lands and playing cheerful music
