Origin

Late Middle English (denoting a pampered child): origin uncertain; it is apparently not the same word as Middle English cokeney 'cock's egg', denoting a small misshapen egg (probably from cock¹ + obsolete ey 'egg'). A later sense was 'a town-dweller regarded as affected or puny', from which the current sense arose in the early 17th century.

A cockney was originally a pampered or spoilt child. This use may derive from a similar word, cokeney ‘a cock's egg’, which, since cocks do not lay eggs, actually meant a poor specimen of a hen's egg, a small and misshapen one. The ‘pampered child’ meaning developed into an insulting term for someone who lives in the town, regarded as effeminate and weak, in contrast to hardier country dwellers. By the beginning of the 17th century the word was being applied to someone from the East End of London, traditionally someone born within the sound of Bow Bells (the bells of St Mary-le-Bow church in the City of London).
