I see similarities between this name and the etymology of CORIANDER.

Apparently he was teased mercilessly with the name Coriander in school. However, he was fairly certain that Coryan had near-Eastern, rather than Latin, roots. Or maybe he didn't want to admit that he was named after a shrub.

Thanks for the thought though.

According to this site, CORIANDER is Phoenician in origin.

As to being named after a shrub, it would have acquired a positive, if figurative, connotation (originally) if it was considered medicinal, an aphrodisiac or, perhaps, an ambrosia.
