Coren is a modern English given name that converges several roots. Most commonly it is a respelling of Corin, the Middle French form of Latin Quirinus, traditionally interpreted as “spear-bearer” or “of the Quirites” (Roman citizens). It can also arise from the Manx/Irish surname Corrin/Curran, ultimately from Gaelic personal names built on corr “spear, point.” As a surname, Coren appears in Britain and Eastern Europe; in some families it reflects a variant of Cohen/Kohen, the Hebrew term for “priest.”

As a given name, Coren is rare before the late 20th century and suits all genders, aligning with the contemporary -en/-an sound pattern. Variants and cognates include Corin, Corrin, Coryn, Korin, Koren, and feminine Corinne/Corrine; short forms Cory or Ren are used. Depending on the source, the name’s meaning ranges from “spear-bearer” to “priest,” with a crisp, two-syllable profile that reads both literary and modern.
