What is the meaning of the name Korran ?

The baby name Korran is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkɒrən/ or /ˈkɔːrən/ (KOR-ən).

Korran is Irish (Gaelic), Scottish in Origin.

Blending modern flair with Gaelic roots, Korran is a K-initial respelling of Corran, from Irish and Scottish Gaelic corrán/corran, meaning “sickle” or “crescent” - by extension, a crescent-shaped headland or point found in many place-names. The imagery suggests sharpness, new beginnings, and the waxing moon, giving the name a sleek, nature-evocative meaning.

Found for centuries in toponyms and surnames across the Highlands and Ireland, Corran appears sporadically as a given name; Korran itself has emerged more recently in English-speaking countries, aligning with contemporary -an endings and bold K spellings. Usage is largely unisex, though it skews masculine in records influenced by the Corran form. Close variants and cognates include Corran, Corrán, Korren, Korrin, Corrin, and Korin; feminine-adjacent Korra sits nearby. Short forms such as Kor or Kory occur. The name’s rarity and clear etymology make Korran a distinctive yet grounded choice.
