Cora

Cora is a name with roots in Greek mythology, where it is associated with Persephone, the goddess of spring. This lovely, short name has a timeless feel and has been a favorite in English-speaking countries since the late 19th century. Following a period of relative obscurity, Cora has made a comeback in recent years, gaining popularity due to its simple elegance. Notable bearers include Cora Munro, a character in James Fenimore Cooper’s classic novel 'The Last of the Mohicans'. Common nicknames are Cori or Corie, and similar alternatives include Kara and Nora.
