Corylah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Corylah

What is the meaning of the name Corylah ?

The baby name Corylah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced KOR-ee-lah,KOH-ree-lah,koh-REE-lah.

Corylah is English in Origin.

Corylah is a modern, likely invented, English-language given name, typically feminine. It blends Cory/Cori (a diminutive of Cora and Corinne; Cora relates to Greek Kore ‘maiden’, while Corinne/Corinna derive from Korinna) with the melodious -la/-lah ending common in contemporary names; the final -h echoes Hebrew-influenced spellings like Hannah or Norah. An alternate etymology ties Cory to Gaelic coire ‘hollow, cauldron,’ though that link is secondary.

Usage is rare and mostly 21st-century, appearing in creative spellings and online baby name forums rather than traditional records. Variants include Coryla, Corilah, Corila, Korylah, and Koryla; related forms are Cora, Coralie, Coral, Corinne, Corinna, and Coretta. Nicknames Cory/Cori, Ryla, and Lala occur. As a blend, its meanings most often reference ‘maiden’ (from Cora/Kore), though a Gaelic route would yield ‘hollow, cauldron’; many simply choose it for its lyrical, modern sound.
