Coryden is English in Origin.

Coryden is a modern English variant of Corydon, the pastoral name known from Greek Korydon and Latin Corydon, associated with the skylark (Greek korydallos) and with rustic shepherds in classical bucolic poetry, especially Virgil’s Eclogues. Through Renaissance humanist influence, the name filtered into English literary tradition as a stock shepherd’s name, giving it an enduring Arcadian, nature‑tinged aura rather than a strictly biblical or royal pedigree.

As a given name in English, Corydon saw occasional use from the 18th–19th centuries and modest revival in the United States, sometimes buoyed by place‑name familiarity (e.g., Corydon, Indiana). Coryden itself emerges in late 20th‑century naming as a streamlined respelling and as a blend aligning with popular -den endings. Variants and related forms include Corydon, Coridon (literary/French), Corridon (rare surname form), Korydon/Koryden (modern spellings), with Cory/Corey as familiar short forms. Meaning: “lark; pastoral shepherd.”
