Corilla Origin and Meaning

The name Corilla is a girl's name.

Corilla is a delicate feminine name with Latin and Italian roots. It likely derives from 'cora' meaning 'maiden' or could be a diminutive form of Cora. In 18th century Italy, there was a famous poet known as Corilla Olimpica (born Maria Maddalena Morelli) who was crowned poet laureate at the Capitol in Rome in 1776, giving the name literary and artistic associations. The name has a lyrical, musical quality with its soft consonants and flowing syllables. Corilla remains exceptionally uncommon in modern usage, making it a distinctive choice. Its rarity offers the appeal of uniqueness while still having historical precedent and a classically feminine sound.
