Correy
Correy Origin and Meaning
Correy is a masculine name that functions as a variant spelling of Corey or Cory. These names have multiple potential origins, including the Old Norse name 'Kori' meaning 'seething pool,' the Irish surname 'Ó Comhraidhe' meaning 'descendant of Comhradhach,' or potentially from Gaelic roots meaning 'hollow' or 'ravine.' The spelling variation with a double 'r' gives Correy a slightly different visual identity while maintaining the same pronunciation. Correy enjoyed moderate popularity during the 1970s and 1980s but has since declined in usage. The name has a friendly, approachable sound with its soft consonants and ending 'ee' sound. Correy strikes a balance between casual and classic, offering a name that's recognizable without being overly common.
