Coco’s official name is Cori Dionne Gauff, being named after her father Corey Gauff, she explained to Sports Illustrated: "My parents always wanted their first child to be named Corey or Cori.
"My nickname came about because we both can’t be named Corey/Cori, that’d be confusing… I believe it was my aunt who said, ‘Oh, we should just call her Coco.'"

Is Coco Gauff dating or in a relationship?
Does Coco Gauff have a boyfriend? Yes, she does however the tennis super has been very careful to keep her man out of the spotlight to avoid unwanted attention.
Reportedly Coco has been dating the same man for over a year, but has yet to reveal his name or identity.
Speaking to Time earlier in 2024, she stated: "This is my first real relationship… To just have someone to talk to who is not involved in tennis at all gives me a fresh perspective."
Whilst she’s kept his identity away from the public eye for a while, it seems like this year might be the year that he steps into the limelight, just not during the Wimbledon or the Olympic Games in Paris, according to Coco as she spoke to People.
“My boyfriend, he'll probably come to maybe some tournaments in the U.S. It's just a little bit easier than coming to Europe," she told the publication.

Coco Gauff’s total net worth has been estimated to be a mighty $21.7 million (£16.6 million) according to Forbes.
The tennis star has won two big titles which has contributed to her financial success, but the real money comes from the endorsement deals that follow. Currently, she’s partnered with the likes of New Balance, Head, Barilla, Bose, and UPS.
According to the publication, Coco has earned more than $5 million (£3.9 million) in prize money from on-court success alone during her career and over £15 million (£11.9 million) from endorsement deals.

Coco’s mother Candi has a background in teaching which she used to homeschool Coco, however, whilst her father Corey was once working in healthcare he dropped his career to work as Coco’s head coach.
Corey no longer maintains that role, the parents have taken a back step to professional trainers and coaches in order to support their daughter the best they can.
Speaking to USA Today, Coco revealed: "They're just really my support system… They're helping me remember, you know, my clothes and everything, and my dad is still sending me scouting reports for every match."
"But my mom is more so, you know, just being mom. My dad just being dad other than the scouting report part."
How many brothers does Coco Gauff have?
Coco has two younger brothers, Codey and Cameron who have showcased their own individual talents as well.
