Thinking about the name
Corey
Irish origin
“Derived from the Irish Gaelic name Chuire or Coraigheadh, Corey originally meant 'from the hollow' or 'dweller of the hollow.' The name gained widespread popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming a quintessential unisex option that feels both approachable and contemporary. It has the casual confidence of a name that works equally well in any setting.”
