Korah

Korah is a feminine name with biblical origins, derived from the Hebrew name קֹרַח (Korach). In the Bible, Korah was a male figure who led a rebellion against Moses, though the feminine usage represents a modern adaptation. The name means "bald" or "ice" in Hebrew. Korah has gained some modest usage in recent years as parents seek biblical names with distinctive sounds. With its strong 'K' beginning and breathy ending, the name has a powerful yet feminine quality. As a girl's name, Korah offers biblical gravitas while still feeling contemporary and uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a name with spiritual roots but a modern sound.

Pronounced KOR-uh.

As of October 2026, Korah ranked #5163 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3272 in 2018.
