Common is an unisex given name of English origin, derived from the Middle English word 'commune', which means 'ordinary' or 'general'. The name was used more frequently in the Middle Ages but has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, particularly for boys. It is often shortened to 'Coco' or 'Cozy' as a nickname.
"The name 'Common' was given to five babies born in 2014."
