Corra
Meaning of Corra
Corra is a feminine given name whose etymology reflects a convergence of Greek and Gaelic elements: it is commonly regarded as a variant of the Greek-derived Cora—itself from ancient Greek Kore, meaning “maiden”—while simultaneously evoking the toponymic heritage of Corra Linn in Scotland. In Anglo-American onomastic usage, Corra conforms to a straightforward phonological structure, pronounced /ˈkɔrə/, with primary stress on the initial syllable, thereby ensuring phonetic clarity and consistency. According to Social Security Administration records, the name has maintained a stable, niche presence within the United States, ranking between 921 and 953 from 2008 through 2024 and registering 16 occurrences (rank 934) in 2024. This persistence within the lower quartile of the top 1,000 suggests a deliberate preference among parents for appellations that combine classical resonance, regional specificity, and technical precision without capitulating to transient naming fashions.
