What is the meaning of the name Korrey ?

Korrey is Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Korrey is a modern English respelling of Corey/Cory (KO-ree), drawing on Irish, Scottish, and Norse strands. In Gaelic, it aligns with Scottish Corrie and the noun coire “cauldron, hollow,” used for cirque-like valleys; it also reflects the Irish surname Ó Comhraidhe, anglicized Corey, “descendant of Comhraidhe” (meaning uncertain). Some connect the broader Corey group to Old Norse Kori, of obscure, possibly “curly‑haired,” sense.

As a given name, Corey surged in the 1970s–1990s and became widely unisex; Korrey is the rare, late‑20th‑century K‑variant with doubled r and an ‑ey ending. Common relatives include Corey, Cory, Kory, Korey, Correy, Korry, Corrie, and feminine-leaning Korie/Cori. Meanings offered range from the topographic “from the hollow” to a patronymic surname heritage.
