Meaning and history
Latinized form of Kore. It was not used as a given name in the English-speaking world until after James Fenimore Cooper employed it for a character in his novel The Last of the Mohicans (1826). In some cases, it may also be a short form of Cordula, Corinna, and other names beginning with a similar sound.
