Cori

Cori is an English given name functioning as a feminine diminutive or variant spelling of Cora, which itself derives from the Greek name Kore, meaning maiden or girl, a title associated with the goddess Persephone in ancient myth. The name gained wider use in the English-speaking world during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, popularized partly through literary and cultural exposure to Cora. Related forms include Cora, Corey, Kori, and Corinna.
