Ngokufuthi, igama elithi “cocoo” lichazwa ngokulula njengegama lemali-mboleko elisuka kwisiNahuatl, iqela leelwimi zomthonyama zomthonyama kumbindi weMexico nezisetyenziswa ngama-Aztec.Xa amathanga aseSpeyin afika phakathi kwinkulungwane ye-16, aqhelana nokokakawatl, ebhekisela kwimbewu yekhokho, kuikoko.
