koci

Koci is a term that may refer to several different uses in languages and in place or people names, without a single dominant meaning. In linguistic and onomastic contexts, the form can appear as an adjective, a root, or a surname, depending on language and orthography.

Linguistic usage: In some language contexts, koci or closely related forms are connected to words for cats, and may appear in compounds or descriptive terms referring to feline characteristics. The exact meaning and spelling can vary between languages.

Surname and personal names: Koci is used as a surname in Albanian-speaking communities and among populations in the Balkan region. In Albanian, variant spellings such as Koçi reflect orthographic differences and may appear in historical and contemporary records.

Toponymy: Koci appears as a place name in parts of the Balkans, where villages or settlements carry the name. As with many toponyms, the origin of the place name often predates modern administrative borders and can be tied to local language or historical associations.

See also: Koçi, a related spelling found in Albanian contexts, and other language variants that render similar sounds with different diacritics.

Note: The term does not have a single, widely recognized topic, so the interpretation of koci depends on regional language, historical context, and whether it appears as a noun, adjective, surname, or place name.
