Meaning and history
Coty is an English-language given name adopted from a surname. The surname is of French origin, but its precise derivation is uncertain; it may be connected with a nickname or locality rather than a single demonstrable dictionary meaning. The name is also familiar through Coty, the cosmetics company founded by French perfumer François Coty, whose birth surname was Spoturno and who adopted Coty professionally. Notable given-name bearers include American baseball player Coty Blanchard and American football player Coty Sensabaugh.
Coty moved from #780 to #919 for boys between 1996 and 1997. Its highest annual birth count came in 1992, with 558 births.
