Meaning and origin of Coralie
Coralie is a French name that is usually said to mean “French, perhaps from coral or Kore: maiden”.
Coralie is a French name with a long record of use in France. Its origin is not fully settled: it is usually connected with coral, from Latin corallium, and sometimes with Greek kore, maiden, the title of Persephone. Either way it has a gentle, sea-touched charm. In English it is said KOR-uh-lee, while the French pronunciation stresses the final syllable. The name is related in feeling to Cora, Coral and Carolina, and it offers a less common alternative to Caroline. Cora and Callie are natural nicknames, and the style is vintage with a slightly bohemian edge that shows up often in French-inspired name lists.
