Meaning & origin
Koralee is a modern invented name that entered U.S. birth records in 1995, reflecting the late-20th-century trend of creating feminine names with the popular -lee suffix. Its peak popularity came in 2022, and it has been steadily rising since 2007, though it remains quite uncommon. The name is often considered a respelling of Coralie or Coral, which are derived from the French word for the marine organism or from the Greek korē (maiden). With no top states and no famous bearers, Koralee is a distinctive choice for parents seeking a contemporary, melodic name.
Koralee appears to be a modern creative variation of names like Coral or Coralie, which derive from the English word for the marine invertebrate or the French diminutive of Cora. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1995 and has been rising in usage since the late 2000s, reflecting a trend toward invented names ending in the fashionable '-lee' sound.
