Re: Coryan
So it sounds almost exactly like Korean?With a hard C (K) the name Kor-yan with the Y sounding like the Y in yellow is phonetically possible in Romani, but it still has no obvious root words.If it does come from Goryan it's possible it was deliberately changed to avoid the association with the word "gor" (which means the outer edge or boarder-line of something) combined with Yan which often used as a nickname for "Yanoro". Really I'm just guessing though! I hope you find what you're looking for :)
