Korry is English, Irish in Origin.
Korry is a modern English given name, most often a respelling of Cory/Corey/Kory. Those forms trace to several overlapping sources: the Scottish surname Corey/Corrie from Gaelic coire “cauldron, kettle,” a word for a mountain cirque or hollow; and, by association, Cori as a short form of Cora, from Greek Kore “maiden.” Depending on the route taken, meanings range from “hollow, glen” to “maiden.”
As a given name in the Anglophone world, Cory/Corey surged in the 1970s–90s, especially for boys, with feminine use via Cori/Kori. Korry appears later as a rare, stylistic K-initial variant, used for both sexes but more often masculine. Variants and cognates include Kory, Korey, Corey, Cory, Corry, Corrie, Kori, and Korie; related forms include Cora. Korry offers contemporary flair while retaining either Celtic topographic roots or the classical “maiden” link.
