Meaning & origin

Coree is a rare and versatile name that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1914. It has never entered the top 1,000 names, peaking in 1984 before tapering off. The name can be spelled in various ways, including Corey and Kory, and its usage has remained stable over the years. While its exact origin is uncertain, Coree is likely a modern invention or a respelling of the Irish-derived Corey. This flexibility makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon name with familiar sounds.

Coree is likely a modern invented name or a respelling of Corey, which itself may derive from the Irish surname Ó Comhraidhe or from the Old Norse name Kóri. Its exact origin is unclear, and it has been used sparingly in the United States since the early 20th century.
