What is the meaning of the name Coree ?

The baby name Coree is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KOR-ee (IPA: /ˈkɔːri/ or /ˈkɔri/).

Coree is English, Greek, Irish, Norse, Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Coree is a modern respelling of Corey/Cory, used as a unisex given name. Its roots point to several sources: the Gaelic coire, meaning "hollow" or "cauldron," which yielded Scottish surnames for people living by a corrie; the Irish patronymic Ó Comhraidhe ("descendant of Comhraidhe"); and, in some lines, the Old Norse personal name Kori, of uncertain meaning. Because of these strands, interpretations range from "from the corrie/hollow" to a familial surname sense rather than a single fixed meaning.

As a first name, Corey surged in North America and the UK from the 1970s through the 1990s and later broadened in gender use; Coree arose as a rare phonetic -ee variant, sometimes favored for girls under contemporary spelling trends. Close variants include Corey, Cory, Corie, Cori, Corrie, Korey, Kory, and Kori; related Cora and Corinne are etymologically distinct. The Coree spelling keeps the "CORE-ee" sound while softening the visual style.
