Korie

Korie is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant spelling of Corey or Cory, which derived from the Old Norse name Kori, meaning 'seething pool' or possibly from an Old Irish name meaning 'from the hollow.' Alternatively, it could be a modern variant of names like Kori, Kora, or Kory. The spelling with a 'K' gives it a more contemporary, feminine feel. Korie gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, though it has never been among the top-ranking names. Parents are often drawn to Korie for its friendly, approachable sound, its gender flexibility, and its modern yet unpretentious quality. The name balances familiarity with distinction.

Korie is also given to boys.

Pronounced KOR-ee.
