Corri
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Corri: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1996.
Corri is most commonly a variant of the Scottish Corrie, itself derived from the Gaelic *coire*, meaning a cauldron-shaped hollow or mountain basin—a landscape term woven into many Highland place names. It shares roots with the Isle of Arran’s village of Corrie and the Corrieyairack Pass. The name gained modern use as a unisex given name, often linked to the anglicised Corey, and found in Scotland since the 1970s. Notable bearers include Corri Wilson, the Scottish National Party MP for Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock from 2015 to 2017, and Corri English, an American actress known for TV roles. While predominantly Scottish in origin, Corri also appears as a surname from the Irish *Ó Corra* or as a diminutive of Corrina—a reminder that names travel as freely as the glens themselves.
