The background of National Cory Day

National Cory Day is observed on July 17 and honours all Corys throughout the world. The date was chosen because it was the birthday of one of the well-known Corys, Cory Efram Doctorow. Doctorow is a blogger, journalist, and science fiction author who began selling fiction at the age of 17. In addition, he is an activist who supports the liberalisation of copyright laws, contending that copyright laws should not be in effect unless someone attempts to sell a product under the copyright of another individual.

There are additional notable individuals with Cory as a given name, last name, or even a pseudonym. Corazon Aquino, for instance, was known as Cory. Maria Corazon “Cory” Sumulong Cojuangco Aquino served as the eleventh president of the Philippines from 1986 to 1992. She was the first female president in the Philippines and even in Asia. She proclaimed Linggo ng Kalayaan, a week observed before Philippine Independence Day to strengthen nationalism and impart the value of freedom and democracy. She is known as the Mother of Democracy.

Cory is a variation of the Greek name ‘Cora,’ which was the maiden name of the Greek deity Persephone and meant ‘honest’ or ‘virtuous’ in Gaelic. Derived from the Gaelic word ‘coire,’ which means ‘from the cavity’ or ‘in a cauldron,’ Cory is a spelling variation of the more common Corey. In the United States, the name Cory or Corey had a gender-neutral history. In modern times, the name Cory is a popular masculine name in Northern Ireland and Scotland. Happy National Cory Day to all male and female Corys across the world!
