a female given name, sometimes derived from Greek roots meaning 'maiden' or 'heart-like.'
Can be derived from the Greek goddess Kore (Persephone), whose name means 'maiden,' or as a variant of 'Corey.' In some contexts, it may relate to 'coral' (the sea organism).
The name Cora became especially popular in American literature and film, which is why many famous characters share this name—names that appear in popular media tend to spread and become fashionable!
