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 2080
entries!
» The (very amusing) web page "HowManyOfMe"
states, that "There are 420 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
now that´s better...
