Meaning & History

Diminutive of Cristóforo. This is also used as a strictly masculine diminutive of Refugio, as in the case of Mexican singer-songwriter José del Refugio "Cuco" Sánchez (1921-2001​). Other known bearers include Carlos "Cuco" Rojas (1954-2020), a Colombian harpist and songwriter of joropo, and Cuco Pérez (1959-), a Spanish accordionist and composer.

This coincides with the Spanish word cuco meaning "cuckoo".
