History & Origin

Coree is a phonetic respelling of Cora, itself drawn from the Greek kore, 'maiden,' an ancient title for Persephone. The doubled-e spelling gives the classic Cora a slightly more contemporary look.

Coree was never common, given to only about eighteen girls a year at its peak around 1984, and it has stayed rare since. It shares its sound family with Corrie, Kori, and Corey.

Did you know? Coree traces back to an epithet for Persephone, the Greek goddess who became Queen of the Underworld; kore simply meant 'girl' or 'maiden' in Ancient Greek.
