Cora (name)
Cora is a given name, most commonly derived from the Ancient Greek Κόρη (Kórē), an epithet of the Greek goddess Persephone. Alternatively, but rarely, it may be rooted in the Gaelic ''cora'', the comparative of ''cóir'', meaning just, honest, virtuous or good. Variant forms of this name include Kora and Korra.

In both Doric and Aeolic κόρη becomes κόρα (kora), in Doric it also appears as κώ� ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
