Comments (Meaning / History Only)

This is my name, but I was named after my grandmother, "Cora."
I have heard that the name "Cori" is derived from the Greek name "Kore" (pronounced the same) meaning "maiden." This is the name of Demeter's daughter in the myth about the seasons. After she has been captured by Hades, her name is changed to "Persephone" because she is no longer a maiden.
My mother's nickname is Cori. It's short for Corinne.
My nickname is Cori. I met an Irish man once who told me it meant "between two mountains" like a quarry.
