摘要
- No one named Cory or Corey appears in the Bible, and the name has no Hebrew or Greek meaning.
- As an English surname, Corey comes from the Old Norse personal name Kóri, whose meaning is unknown.
- As an Irish surname, Corey is one of the English forms of Ó Comhraidhe, “descendant of Comhraidhe.”
- The meanings “in a cauldron” (from Gaelic coire) and “seething pot” are not supported by Behind the Name, which also does not treat Cory as a form of Cornelius.
- Corey jumped from 171st to 58th among American boys’ names between 1968 and 1969, after the TV series Julia introduced a boy named Corey Baker.
