What is the meaning of the name Corry ?

The baby name Corry is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KOR-ee.

Corry is English, Irish, Scottish in Origin.

Corry is a unisex given name and surname variant related to Corey/Cory and Corrie. It arises along several linguistic lines: as a Scottish and northern Irish toponymic from Gaelic coire, meaning “cauldron” or “corrie/hollow”; as an anglicized Irish family name Ó Comhraidhe (Corey), later adopted as a given name; and in Dutch as a familiar short form of Cornelia or Cornelius (alongside Corrie). Related spellings include Cory, Corey, Corrie, Cori, Kory, and Korey; diminutive forms such as Cori/Corie also circulate.

Usage in the English-speaking world grew in the later 20th century with the popularity of Corey/Cory, while Corry itself has remained the rarer spelling, encountered in Scotland and Ireland as a place-derived surname and in the Netherlands as a feminine nickname. Depending on origin, the meaning is either “dweller by the hollow/corrie” (Gaelic) or “horn” via Latin Cornelius/Cornelia.
