  1. Corey

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "from the hollow"

  2. Coriana

    • Description:

      Coriana is a feminine name with a melodic quality that appears to blend classical and modern naming elements. It may have developed as an elaboration of Cora (derived from the Greek 'kore' meaning maiden) with a romantic suffix. Alternatively, it could be a creative variation of names like Corinna or Corina, which have roots in Greek mythology. The name has a flowing, musical quality with its four syllables and pleasing rhythm. While not commonly found in traditional naming records, Coriana has likely emerged in recent decades as parents seek distinctive yet accessible names. Its elegant sound profile combines familiarity with uniqueness, making it appealing to contemporary naming preferences without appearing too unusual.

    • Origin:

      French variation of Greek Korinna

Its most popular year was 1926, when it ranked Number 249. Corinna is another pretty ancient form of the name, technically a diminutive.

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      The name of a warrior and dragonrider in the Game of Thrones universe, played by Matt Smith in the HBO prequel House of the Dragon. The word daemon also features in the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, as the physical manifestations of humans' souls in the form of an animal.

      Scandinavian

    • Meaning:

      "new day"

Having slid off the bottom of the Top 1000 in 2012, Damaris might be deserving of more attention by parents in search of a New Testament name that is unusual but accessible, especially since girls' names ending in 's' are coming back into fashion.

          Greek

        • Meaning:

          "to tame, subdue"

          English variation of Damian

        • Description:

          Damon is a name with a strong, pleasing aura (much like the persona of Matt D.) and extremely positive ancient associations.

And Damon of Athens was the fifth century philosopher who taught both Pericles and Socrates.
      • Damyon

        • Description:

          Damyon is a modern variation of Damian or Damien, names with ancient roots. The traditional name derives from Greek 'damazein' meaning 'to tame' or 'to subdue,' and has ties to Saint Damian, a 3rd-century physician and martyr. While the standard spelling has been used since medieval times, Damyon represents a contemporary phonetic adaptation that maintains the traditional pronunciation while offering a distinctive appearance. This spelling variant has gained modest usage in recent decades as parents seek unique forms of classic names. The name carries connotations of healing and compassion due to its saintly association, while also maintaining a strong, masculine sound. Despite its alternative spelling, Damyon retains the rich historical and religious connections of its traditional counterpart.

      • Davia

        • Description:

          Davia is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. Most commonly, it's considered a feminine form of David, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'beloved.' Alternatively, it may derive from the Latin 'Davus' or represent a variant of Davina. In some Slavic regions, particularly Croatia, Davia appears as a regional feminine name. The name carries a gentle, melodic quality with its flowing vowels while maintaining a simple, accessible pronunciation. Though never reaching widespread popularity in English-speaking countries, Davia has maintained steady if minimal usage, appealing to parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon. Its biblical connections provide traditional appeal, while its relative rarity offers distinctiveness.
