Comments for the name Cori

Comments for CORI:

My nickname is Cori. I met an Irish man once who told me it meant "between two mountains" like a quarry.

My name is Cori and I love it because it is uncommon. I think it is beautiful. It means a lot to me that people love my name. It's different and original.

My best friend is called Coral, but I gave her Cori as a nickname. I think it's lovely.

This is my name, but I was named after my grandmother, "Cora."
I have heard that the name "Cori" is derived from the Greek name "Kore" (pronounced the same) meaning "maiden." This is the name of Demeter's daughter in the myth about the seasons. After she has been captured by Hades, her name is changed to "Persephone" because she is no longer a maiden.

I know a girl who goes by Cori. Its short for something but she refuses to tell anyone whatit's short for as she hates her real name. When I first meet her I thought her name was weird but it has really grown on me, though I doubt it would suit everyone.
