Corry: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2017.
The name Corry is most familiar as a modern Scottish and Irish variant of Corey, an Anglicised form of the Gaelic surname Ó Comhraidhe, meaning "descendant of Comhraidhe"—a personal name thought to derive from *comhraidh*, "speech" or "conversation." It has also drawn from the Irish place-name Corry, from *coire*, "cauldron" or "hollow," often describing a round valley. Famous bearers include the Scottish footballer Corry Evans, who played for Northern Ireland, and the character Corry from the long-running Scottish soap *River City*. The place-name connection is strong: several Scottish villages bear Corry, such as Corry on the Isle of Skye, while the root *coire* appears in many Highland glens. Notably, Corry also stands as a gender-neutral choice, growing in popularity alongside similar short forms like Corey and Kieran.
