Korun is in Origin.

Korun is a rare South Slavic masculine given name often linked to the Slavic word family for “crown” (kruna/krona/koruna; cf. Latin corona), conveying “crown, wreath, garland” and, by extension, “honor.” It may have arisen as a vernacular counterpart to the Christian name Corona and is semantically akin to Greek Stephanos (Stephen). The form Korun is attested in medieval Bosnian, Croatian, and Slovene records and survives in regional surnames such as Korunović, indicating localized historical use.

Variants and related forms include the feminine Koruna (Czech/Slovak) and Korona/Corona, while Koro appears as a diminutive. In some transcriptions, Corun is seen. The name also overlaps in sound with Turkish koru-/korun- “to protect,” giving a modern folk reading “the protected one” - a secondary association rather than a strict etymology. Today Korun is very uncommon, chosen for its Slavic heritage, succinct shape, and uplifting crown symbolism.
