Meaning & Story

Kory is a variant spelling of Cory or Corey, derived from either the Irish 'Corra' meaning 'seething pool' or from the Old Norse 'Kori.' The alternate spelling gives it a slightly more distinctive feel while retaining the familiar warmth.

Kory is one of those names that has been friendly and accessible for so long it barely registers as a choice — which is actually part of its charm. It has an easy, open quality that suits a dog with a genuinely uncomplicated, good-natured personality. The alternate spelling gives it just enough individuality to stand out without trying hard. For a warm, easygoing companion who is reliably wonderful and never makes things complicated.
