Corie is English, Irish, Scottish in Origin.

Corie is a modern, unisex spelling related to Corey and Corrie. As a transferred surname, it stems in part from Scottish Gaelic coire, “cauldron, hollow,” found in Highland place-names that became surnames such as Corrie/Corry; in northern Scotland the line also intersects with the Old Norse personal name Kori. Corie can likewise function as a short form of Cora/Corinne, linking it to Greek Korē “maiden,” the epithet of Persephone.

Used as a given name in the English-speaking world since the late 19th century, Corie saw most of its currency in the United States from the 1970s through the 1990s alongside the more common Corey/Cory. It is rarer than those forms and skews slightly feminine relative to Corey, though it remains comfortably unisex. Variants include Corey, Cory, Corrie, Corry, Cori, Kori, Korey, and Kory. Depending on the origin chosen, the name carries senses of “hollow/valley” or “maiden.”
