Corra is in Origin.

Corra is a modern variant of Cora, from Greek Kórē “maiden,” an epithet of Persephone. The name entered English in the late 18th century and gained 19th‑century momentum - especially after James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans (1826) featured Cora Munro. The double‑r spelling appears in Scottish, Irish, and American records of the same era and is occasionally associated with Scotland’s Corra Linn (Falls of Clyde), though in given‑name use it remains primarily a Cora respelling. Notable bearer: American writer Corra Harris (1869–1935).

Corra can also function as a clipped or phonetic form of Corinne/Corina (from Greek Korinna) and sometimes of Cordelia or Cornelia. Variants and related forms include Cora, Korra, Kora, Corah, Corina/Corinna, Corinne, and Cory/Corey (unisex). Nicknames: Coco, Cori/Cory. Meaning centers on “maiden” or “young woman.” Usage today is rare but on‑trend, offering a softer, less common twist on Cora.
