History & Origin

Korry is a respelling of Corey, a name with Irish surname roots and links to a Gaelic word for a hollow or ravine. Corey rose to great popularity in late-century America, and spellings such as Korey and Korry multiplied alongside it. The name's appeal is its brisk, upbeat two-beat sound rather than a fixed dictionary meaning.

Korry was always rare, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak around 1993, far below the mainstream Corey. A boy named Korry then is in his thirties today.

Did you know? Corey and its many spellings, including Korry, surged in America from the nineteen-seventies onward, so the Korry form is very much a name of that friendly, informal era.
