Costa

Costa comes from a rich tapestry of meanings rooted in the Latin word 'costa', which translates to 'rib' or 'side'. In Portuguese, it extends metaphorically to mean 'coast', conjuring images of the sea's edge—a place both strong and adventurous. In Italian, it retains the original meaning of 'rib', suggesting support and strength. The name Costa feels both grounded and open, much like a coastline that stands firm against the sea while inviting exploration.

In terms of popularity, Costa had its moment of prominence back in 1935 when it reached its best rank of #2396. Interestingly, it saw a dramatic leap of 3893 spots from 2014 to 2015, showing a sudden yet brief resurgence in interest. However, its popularity has waned over the years, currently sitting at #5430 in 2024. The name experienced a sharp decline in 1999, dropping from #5620 to #9912 in just one year.

Costa carries an adventurous spirit and a sense of strength that makes it an intriguing choice for those seeking a name with classic roots and a unique charm. Whether you're drawn to its oceanic connections or its robust sound, Costa offers a timeless appeal that remains quietly enduring.
