Corranah is in Origin.

Corranah is a rare modern feminine given name with layered roots. It likely blends the Gaelic element corran (“sickle, crescent; point/headland” found in Scottish and Irish place‑names) with the flowing -ah ending, or functions as a creative respelling of Corinna/Corina (from Greek Korinna, a diminutive of Kore, “maiden”). Either route yields evocative meanings: “crescent” or “sickle,” and by Greek association, “maiden.”

Documented use is very sparse before the late 20th century, with sporadic appearances in English‑speaking countries thereafter, fitting the broader trend of lyrical, -ah suffixed coinages and revived classical forms. Variants and near-forms include Coranah, Corannah, Corrana, Corinna, Corina, Corinne, and Korina; related unisex/masculine Corran preserves the Gaelic noun. Typical pronunciations are ko-RAH-nuh or KOR-uh-nah, though regional patterns vary. Nickname options such as Cora, Rana, or Rani are intuitive. Overall, Corranah offers familiar sounds with uncommon, cross-cultural resonance.
