Meaning & origin

Coraima is a modern name that first entered the U.S. naming landscape in 1992, making it a relatively recent addition. Its peak popularity occurred just a year later, in 1993, although it has never ranked among the top 1,000 names. The name's trajectory has remained stable, suggesting consistent but low-level use. While its exact origin is uncertain, it likely follows the trend of creating distinctive names by combining familiar elements, such as the classic 'Cora' with a melodic suffix. Coraima has not been strongly associated with any particular state or region, reflecting its broad but sparse usage across the country.

Coraima is a modern name that first appeared in the United States in 1992. Its exact origin is unclear, but it may be a creative respelling of the name Coraima (a variant of Cora) or an invented name combining fashionable sounds like 'Cora' and the suffix '-aima'. The name has seen modest use since the 1990s.
