Coralie

Meaning: (Little Maiden, Virgin, Apparently an elaboration of Cora or Coral, similar to names such as Rosalie. However, it may also be derived from the Italian Coralina, the traditional name of the cunning young woman in the Commedia dell’Arte. Coralie is the name of the French girl in Thackeray’s 1850 novel “Pendennis”. A popular 19^th Century jewel name.)

Origin: (English, French, Old Greek)

Pronunciation: (KOR-uh-lee, KOR-uh-lye, KAOR-aa-Liy)

Gender: Female

I was looking up a name not long ago and it had sibling names on the site. Coralie was one of the sibling names. I think Coralie is absolutely adorable. The meanings are lovely and the name has connections as an elaboration to Cora and Coral so if you want a more unique looking name that incorporates Cora or Coral then Coralie is the name for you and your character. I do like the Italian version Coralina as well. I think it is so beautiful too. It has a history to as far back as 1850 but maybe even further than that, I am unsure. I think like Rosalie, Coralie has a prettier look to it than just simply Rose / Rosa and Cora / Coral, respectively.

Writing Quotes
