Corey Name Meaning, Origin and Popularity

2 Min Read

Corey is a name that is suitable for both boys and girls, making it a gender-neutral choice. A name with Irish origins, this lively and young one derives from the Gaelic “coire,” which means “in or from the hollow.” Corey received a great deal of popularity in the late 1960s as a result of the trailblazing television show Julia, which featured a young African-American child named Corey. Teen idols and actors C Haim and C Feldman helped propel this gender-neutral moniker to the top of the charts in the ’80s. Even though it has been around for a while, this name isn’t as popular as others, so it’s a nice change of pace and a different option.
