US Popularity:10485
Origin:Latin
Meaning:crown
Latin in origin and bestowed upon stars and deities alike, Corona is a feminine name meaning "crown." Derived from the Latin corōna, meaning "wreath" or "garland," Corona is borrowed from the Ancient Greek korṓnē, which refers to anything curved. Much more than adornments for great Gods and monarchs—of which the term coronation arises—Corona is embodied in the very essence of life. From the luminous aura that encircles the moon to the captivating shapes of the aurora borealis, this well-rounded title encompasses them all. And so, too, may it envelop your very own wondrous little being, illuminating their majesty for all to see.
