KOKS

Koks is a term with multiple uses across languages and contexts. It does not refer to a single concept. In Estonian, koks is a common noun meaning "tree." As such, it appears in everyday speech and in dictionaries as a basic botanical term. The word is unrelated to English "coke" or other cognates outside the Finno-Ugric language group.

Koks also occurs as a surname in several cultures, particularly in Estonia and in communities with Baltic or Dutch influence. As a surname, it can be found in records and public life, though it is not among the most common family names in any one country. Surnames of this kind often have local cultural or linguistic origins that may be historical.

In addition to its use as a common noun and a surname, Koks can appear as a proper noun in various contexts, such as brand names, fictional characters, or place names. Its appearance in literature or media is typically tied to the person or entity that adopts it rather than to a fixed semantic meaning.

Because "koks" has different roles in different languages, there is no single definition that applies globally. The most definite sense is the Estonian noun for "tree"; other uses depend on geographic and cultural context.
