Notes: |
English, originating in the US, from Greek "maiden", coined by James Fenimore Cooper in 1826. It is possible that Cora may have come from the Greek korē, "heart", as may Corinna/Corinne which are therefore classed here as lesser synonyms.
Names that have been derived from Cora now often have Cora as a diminutive or pet name [see lists, above]. |
