See AllAdd a Comment newest first oldest first highest rated first group by type Cory is taken from the root word for heart in Latin "cor": the Medieval Latin word cor (heart; mind, soul) which was derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "kerd-". This Latin word is the one which gave the Romance languages their words for heart: French - coeur; Spanish - corazón; Portuguese - coração; Italian - cuore; Provençal - cor. So, the English meaning for Cory is heart, tender hearted, brave hearted. ― dixie.thackston 1/4/2011 vote up2vote down UK birth records bring up two variants, Coryton and Coryndon, both place names, so they're probably also sources for its English usage. ― Pie 12/2/2007 vote up1vote down The name Cory started as an Irish surname.
