What is Mamá Coco’s given name in Pixar’s film Coco?

Mamá Coco’s given name in Pixar’s film Coco is Socorro.

The character is commonly called Mamá Coco because she is the elderly great-grandmother of Miguel Rivera. Her nickname provides the film’s title and distinguishes her from the other members of the Rivera family. In the story, she is the daughter of Héctor and the child whose memories connect the living Rivera family with their past.

Socorro is mostly quiet and physically frail during the main events of the film, but her memories are crucial to resolving the family’s history. Miguel’s efforts to help her remember Héctor reveal the truth about her father and restore his place in the family’s story.

Viewers sometimes confuse Socorro with Mamá Imelda, another important matriarch. Imelda is Héctor’s wife and the founder of the family’s shoemaking tradition, while Socorro is their daughter. The two characters belong to different generations of the Rivera family.
