Meaning & origin
Corazon is a name of Spanish origin meaning 'heart,' derived from Latin 'cor.' While it has been used sporadically in the United States since 1933, it remains quite rare, ranking 7,885 in 2025 with only about 1 in 123,636 newborns receiving it. The name peaked in popularity in 1986, likely influenced by cultural references such as the Filipino politician Corazon Aquino, though no specific famous bearers are cited here. Its trajectory has been stable, without significant revival. The name is most common in Spanish-speaking communities and the Philippines, though U.S. top states data are not available.
Corazón is the Spanish word for 'heart,' derived from Latin 'cor' (heart). It has been used as a given name in Spanish-speaking cultures, often as a term of endearment (mi corazón, 'my heart') and occasionally as a formal name, especially in the Philippines and among Hispanic communities. Its use as a first name gained some traction in the mid-20th century.
