Corowa is Australian Aboriginal in Origin.

Corowa is a rare unisex given name taken from the town on the Murray River in New South Wales, Australia. The toponym is generally traced to a local Aboriginal language of the region (often attributed to Yorta Yorta/Bangerang or Wiradjuri), with proposed glosses ranging from “rocky river/bend” to “place of the currawong.” The vowels give it a gentle, flowing rhythm; common pronunciations are KOR-uh-wah or KOR-oh-wah.

As a personal name, Corowa has seen light use in Australia and New Zealand since the late 20th century, mirroring the broader fashion for place-inspired and First Nations names. The town’s role in the 1893 Corowa Conference on Australian Federation lends historical resonance, while river and vineyard associations add a pastoral note. Possible variants and spellings include Korowa and Karowa; short forms Cora, Coro, and Rowa make accessible nicknames.
