The girl's name Cora \c(o)-ra\ is pronounced KOR-ah. It is of English and Greek origin. Possibly a variant of Kore (Greek) "maiden". Probably a invented name coined by American writer James Fenimore Cooper in "The Last of the Mohicans" (1826). Classical mythology: name of the goddess of the underworld. A simple, pretty name with an old-fashioned air. Civil rights activist Coretta Scott King.

Cora has 53 variant forms: Corabel, Corabella, Corabelle, Corabellita, Coralee, Coralia, Coralie, Coralyn, Coree, Corella, Corena, Corene, Coretta, Corey, Cori, Corie, Corilla, Corine, Corinna, Corinne, Corisa, Corissa, Corita, Corlene, Correen, Corrella, Correlle, Correna, Correnda, Correne, Correy, Corri, Corrie, Corrina, Corrine, Corrissa, Corry, Corynna, Corynne, Coryssa, Kora, Korabell, Kore, Koreen, Koretta, Korey, Korilla, Korina, Korinne, Korry, Koryne, Korynna and Koryssa.
