Origin
Meaning and history of Corieon
The name Corieon is believed to have its origins in ancient Greece, derived from the Greek word "korion," which means "little child" or "little one." This name was likely used as an endearing term for newborns or young children in the classical Greek era.
One of the earliest recorded uses of the name Corieon can be found in the writings of the ancient Greek philosopher and historian, Plutarch, who lived in the 1st century AD. In his work "Parallel Lives," Plutarch mentions a character named Corieon, suggesting that the name was in use during that time period.
Throughout the centuries, the name Corieon has been associated with various historical figures, although its popularity has waxed and waned across different regions and cultures. One notable individual who bore this name was Corieon of Cyrene, a Greek philosopher and mathematician who lived in the 3rd century BC. He is best known for his contributions to the field of geometry and his teachings at the renowned Academy in Athens.
Another individual of note was Corieon the Elder, a Roman statesman and orator who lived in the 2nd century AD. He was known for his eloquence and served as a consul during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. His son, Corieon the Younger, followed in his footsteps and also pursued a career in politics and law.
In the Middle Ages, the name Corieon resurfaced in various European regions, particularly in Italy and France. One notable figure from this period was Corieon di Firenze, an Italian painter and sculptor who lived in the 14th century. His frescoes and sculptures can still be found in churches and museums throughout Italy.
During the Renaissance, the name Corieon gained some popularity among the intellectual and artistic circles of Europe. One such individual was Corieon Alberti, an Italian humanist scholar and writer who lived in the 15th century. He was known for his translations of ancient Greek texts and his contributions to the study of classical literature.
While not as widely used in modern times, the name Corieon has continued to appear sporadically throughout history, often associated with individuals from artistic, literary, or academic backgrounds.

FAQ
Corieon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Corieon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 10 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Corieon going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 34,275,434 US residents.
Is Corieon a common name?
We classify Corieon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 28.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 10 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Corieon most popular?
The single biggest year for Corieon was 2001, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Corieon is about 23 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Corieon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Corieon a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Corieon in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Corieon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Corieon in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Corieon can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
