Corrah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Corrah

What is the meaning of the name Corrah ?

The baby name Corrah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KOR-ə (IPA: /ˈkɔːrə/ or /ˈkɔrə/).

Corrah is Irish in Origin.

Corrah is a modern elaboration of Cora, ultimately from Greek Kórē (“maiden, daughter”), an epithet of the spring goddess Persephone. The name entered English use in the 18th–19th centuries and gained visibility through James Fenimore Cooper’s heroine Cora Munro in The Last of the Mohicans, fueling Victorian popularity. The -h ending mirrors spellings such as Sarah and Norah, and Corrah appears sporadically in late‑20th‑ and 21st‑century records in the US, UK, and Australia, remaining a rare, contemporary twist on a classical base.

Variants and related forms include Cora, Corra, Corah, Kora, and Korra; diminutives Corrie and Coco; and cognates by meaning such as Corinna/Corinne (from Greek Kórinna) and the Scottish place‑name element Corra (as in Corra Linn). Some sources also link it to the biblical Korah (Hebrew Qorah, “bald, frost”), a distinct masculine name; this parallel does not change the prevailing Greek sense of “maiden” for Corrah.
