Chorus is Greek in Origin.
Chorus comes from Latin chorus, via Ancient Greek choros/khorós “dance; ring of dancers and singers” and the area set aside for them, later the collective song-and-dance group in Greek drama. In English it denotes the refrain of a song and any ensemble of voices, so the core meanings cluster around unity, celebration, rhythm, and a shared voice.
As a given name it is a contemporary, very rare, gender‑neutral choice in English, aligned with musical word-names like Aria or Harmony rather than with classical personal names. Documented personal use is sporadic and modern, often as a statement of community or love of performance. Variants are largely inventive spellings - Khorus, Korus - while linguistically related forms include Greek Choros and Romance Coro (“choir”). Possible short forms are Cho, Cory, or Rus. The name evokes artistic collaboration and the idea of many becoming one.
Chorus is extremely rare. There are only 14 recorded uses on record, spread over 6 countries.
