The history of the first name Coralea

The name Coralea is a relatively modern creation, believed to have originated in the late 19th or early 20th century. It is a combination of the names Cora and Lea, both of which have their own distinct origins and meanings.

Cora is a shortened form of the Greek name Korinna, which is derived from the word "kore," meaning "maiden" or "young girl." The name Lea, on the other hand, is a Hebrew name meaning "weary" or "tired." It is found in the Bible as the name of one of Jacob's wives and the mother of six of the twelve tribes of Israel.
