History & Origin

Koralyn is a recent American coinage. Its front can be read as Cora, from Greek kore, 'maiden' (a title of Persephone), or as Coral, the sea creature whose pink-red skeleton has been prized since antiquity. The -lyn ending is the same one that built Adalyn and Jaelyn. The blend has no documented meaning of its own, and the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'KOR-uh-lin').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, pretty, and modern.

Did you know? Cora comes from the Greek kore, 'maiden' — a title of Persephone — while coral is the jewel of the sea. Koralyn draws on both, and its routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'KOR-uh-lin').
