Korra is English in Origin.
Korra is a modern English feminine given name, a stylized double‑r variant of Cora/Kora. Rooted in Greek Kore “maiden,” an epithet of Persephone, it carries connotations of youth and vitality. As Kora, the name appears in Polish and other European languages, sometimes used as a short form of Kornelia or Korinna. The double‑r spelling gained currency in the 21st century, propelled by Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra, whose heroine lent the name strength and adventurous resonance.
Usage of the base form Cora rose in the 19th century in the Anglophone world (aided by literary characters like Cora Munro), while Korra’s adoption is distinctly contemporary, with a marked uptick in the 2010s. Variants and related forms include Cora, Kora, Korina/Corina, Corinne/Corinna, Coretta, and nickname Kori. The core meaning remains “maiden” or “young woman,” complemented by modern associations of balance, courage, and elemental power.
