What Does the Name Corabelle Mean?

Corabelle is an English feminine given name usually understood to mean "beautiful maiden." It is formed from two independent names: Cora, generally derived from Greek κόρη (kore), "maiden" or "girl," and Belle, from French belle, "beautiful." The meaning comes from combining the two components; it is not a translation of a single ancient word. Cora is related to Kore, a name for Persephone in Greek myth, while Belle is the feminine form of French bel/beau and also appears as a short form of names such as Isabella. The spelling with -belle reflects the French element, not the Italian bella seen in the similar form Corabella.

Corabelle Name History & Origins

Corabelle is an English compound given name made from Cora and Belle. Its parts have separate histories. Cora was in use in English by the 19th century and is associated with Cora Munro in James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 novel The Last of the Mohicans; that literary use is a well-known association, not the name's origin. Belle entered English from French and was used both as an independent given name and as a short form of Isabella, Annabelle, and similar names. In English-speaking countries, double given names such as Cora Belle were common in the 19th century. Corabelle represents a closed-up styling of that two-name combination. As a single written name, it has been used alongside the separate forms Cora and Belle.
