Coridan is in Origin.

Coridan is a rare given name, most plausibly a modern respelling of Corydon/Coridon, the pastoral shepherd name made famous by Virgil’s Eclogues and later echoed in Renaissance idylls and French and Italian opera. The classical form is often linked to Greek korydallos “lark,” giving Coridan the poetic sense of “lark” and, by extension, a bucolic, songful association. Through Latin and early modern literature, the name entered English and French use at the margins and appears sporadically as a masculine given name in Britain and North America.

Variants include Corydon, Coridon, Corydan, and Korydon; short forms Cory/Cori are natural. The name’s literary pedigree lends it an antique, Arcadian flavor, while the -dan ending reads contemporary. Usage remains uncommon today, making Coridan an offbeat alternative to other Cory- names. Related pastoral names include Tityrus and Daphnis, though they share theme rather than etymology.
