The name Cora means "maiden".
Cora means mermaid, crown.
It seems to me, instead of basing it on Kore or Corinna, James Fennimore Cooper could have based it more directly on the Latin word "cor" which means heart.
Waterfall in Scotland on the Clyde: Cora Linn. Of Celtic origin meaning Maiden, Linn meaning Waterfall. Also an alternative for the Greek Persephone or Kore.
The waterfall is actually called Corra Linn. According to Wikipedia, the name is derived from Gaelic "currach".
Derived from the Greek 'kore', it was first used as a given name by James Fenimore Cooper in The Last of the Mohicans.
Korah is also a biblical name.
