Cory is a name that is gender-neutral and has several origins. The lovely gem’s name comes from the Irish word coire, which means “in a hollow” or “in a cauldron.” It is only the beginning, although this translation is, to be honest, a little bit unexpected! Another possible origin for the name Cory is the Greek goddess Persephone or the name Cora, which means “heart” or “maiden.” Even though she rules over Hades, this daughter of Zeus will always be associated with the splendor of springtime and the natural world. Finally, the late, great Cory Monteith, whose charisma, talent, and sense of humor encouraged countless people to follow their passions, will likely come to mind.
