Meaning & Story
Named after coquina, a type of soft limestone or the small, colorful shell-burrowing clam found on Florida beaches, evoking coastal beauty and hidden charm.
Coquina is a name pulled directly from the natural world of Florida's coastline — both a type of soft, shell-rich limestone used in historic buildings and a species of tiny, brilliantly colored clams that bury themselves in the sand with each wave. It is a name that suggests hidden beauty: something small that reveals extraordinary color and character when you look closely. For a pet, Coquina suits a creature with an unexpectedly vivid personality tucked inside an unassuming exterior. Beachy, beautiful, and genuinely unique.
