Since the 2000s, Keidy has risen from obscurity to being used more than 150 times in 2023. Borne by Venezuelan model and photographer, Keidy Moreno Marín, Estonian skier, Keidy Kaasiku, model Keidy Garces, and influencer Keidy Ramirez, the exact origin of Keidy is unknown.

Kory was always the least-used version of this name, which was always used less often for girls than for boys. As Corey and Cory, the name still hangs on in the boys' Top 1000, but Kory dropped off the boys' list in 2003 and the C spellings faded for girls in the mid-90s. Ironically, the classic girls' name Cora, derived from the Greek Kore, is rising quickly in popularity, now in the Top 100 in the US and a favorite of Nameberry visitors. We foresee this name making the Top 10 in the coming decade, so Cory and Kory may find a new life as short forms for newly popular Greek baby namesCora and sisters.
