Origin
Meaning and history of Corrice
The name Corrice is believed to have originated from the Old French language, with its roots tracing back to the medieval period. It is derived from the French word "corrige," which means "to correct" or "to amend." The name may have been initially bestowed upon individuals who were known for their ability to correct or rectify situations or perhaps those who held positions of authority in maintaining order and discipline.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Corrice can be found in a 13th-century manuscript from the Normandy region of France. This document mentions a nobleman named Corrice de Montfort, who was a vassal of the Duke of Normandy during that time. While the details of his life are scarce, his name's appearance in this historical record suggests that the name was in use among the nobility of the era.
In the 15th century, a Benedictine monk named Corrice de Ville is mentioned in the annals of a monastery in the French region of Burgundy. He was known for his scholarly pursuits and his contributions to the preservation of ancient manuscripts and texts.
During the Renaissance period, a renowned Italian painter named Corrice Beltramini (1480-1567) gained recognition for his frescoes adorning several churches and palaces in the city of Florence. His works were praised for their intricate details and vibrant colors, reflecting the artistic spirit of the time.
In the 18th century, Corrice Dupont (1712-1787) was a French explorer and cartographer who mapped several uncharted regions of the Americas. His detailed maps and journals provided invaluable information for future expeditions and contributed to the advancement of geographic knowledge during that era.
Moving forward to the 19th century, Corrice Delacroix (1845-1921) was a notable French philosopher and educator who advocated for progressive educational reforms. His writings and teachings challenged traditional methods and encouraged a more holistic approach to learning, influencing the educational landscape of his time.
While the name Corrice may not be as common today, its historical roots and the individuals who bore it throughout the centuries have left an indelible mark on various fields, from art and exploration to philosophy and education.

FAQ
Corrice: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Corrice?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Corrice 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Corrice a common name?
We classify Corrice as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Corrice most popular?
The single biggest year for Corrice was 1971, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Corrice is about 50 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 Corrice in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Corrice a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Corrice 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 Corrice still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Corrice 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 Corrice 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.
