Corby is a unisex name, though more commonly used for females, with English origins. Derived from an Old Norse place name meaning 'raven settlement' or from old English elements 'cor' (raven) and 'by' (farm or settlement). As a surname-turned-first-name, Corby has the casual, friendly quality characteristic of this naming trend. Though never broadly popular, the name saw modest usage in the mid-20th century in English-speaking countries. Corby has a distinctively British feel and carries associations with the market town of Corby in Northamptonshire, England. The name's brevity, two-syllable rhythm, and friendly 'y' ending give it an approachable, contemporary sound despite its ancient origins. Corby remains an uncommon choice for parents seeking something distinctive yet unpretentious.
