Kaurie is a modern, creative given name most plausibly a phonetic respelling of Corey/Cori/Kori, surnames-turned-first-names with Celtic roots. In Scottish Gaelic and Irish, coire denotes a “cauldron” or “hollow,” the corrie/cirque landform, which underlies Corrie and Corey in Britain and North America. As a contemporary American-style variant, Kaurie has been rare, with occasional use from the late 20th century; it appears for all genders but trends feminine alongside Kori and Cori.

Variant forms include Kori, Korie, Cori, Corie, Cory, Corey, Korey, and Corrie; related are Cora/Kora (from Greek Kore “maiden”), though etymologically distinct. Some bearers also associate Kaurie with the New Zealand kauri tree, lending a nature-inspired reading of strength and longevity, though this is a coincidental near-homophone. Meaning is typically taken as “hollow; ravine” via Gaelic, or “maiden” by extension through the Cora/Kora pathway.
