Koral is a rare given name in the United States, first recorded in 1954. It reached its highest usage in 2008, but has since declined steadily. In 2025, the name ranked 11,932 with approximately 1 in 229,610 babies named Koral. Its trajectory shows a falling trend since 2005, reflecting a shift away from this modern coinage. While not in the top states, Koral remains a distinctive choice, often linked to the gemstone coral and its vibrant associations.
Koral is a modern English name, likely derived from the gemstone coral, which comes from the Latin 'corallium' and Greek 'korallion'. It emerged as a given name in the mid-20th century, possibly influenced by similar-sounding names like Coral or Karol. Its usage has remained rare, with occasional peaks in the 2000s.
