No this is very very incorrect. Korea is a result of the Dutch and Europeans trying to pronounce the real name Koryo which is a Korean Kingdom that became what is known as modern day "Korea" to the west.And the name Koryo has ancient roots going back
5000 years before Italy was even around as we know it today.

I know a friend with the Last name Coreano and his family is very small he says that in the US there where only 157 people in the year 2010. Is it possible that he is from the last name Cores?

Sorry about the last text last part....Is it possible that he is part of the Corea last name? He's last name is Coreano and had been a long time looking for stuff.

Actually, "Korea(Corea)" is the Latinization/Italian pronunciation of the Kingdom of Koryo, which was a vassal/client State to Yuan China and Kublai Khan, who Marco Polo visited. The population density of that region during that time wouldn't be as
nearly as populous as you would think.

I have no idea where the Italian last name Corea comes from.

During the time of Paul Rubens however, the kingdom would have been called "Joseon" but that area (Korean Peninsula) was called Corea ever since Marco Polo visited the area.

This is a very interesting story. Can you provide a reference

I have no idea about how the Italian surname was formed, but your argument about how Korea was named 'Korea(or Corea)' is quite not true at all.

Korea, when first introduced to Arabian merchants, was Koryeo(고려). The country or dynasty's name back then about more than a thousand years ago was litterally 고려(sounds 'Koryeo'). The Arabian merchants kept on using that name, and eventually the
country in Korean peninsula became to be known as 'Korea'.

Hi.

Some People Says Korean War Prisoner 'Antonio Corea' Was First
Korean-Italian And From 'Antonio Corea' Italian Family Name 'Corea' Originated. Jazz Pianist Chic Corea, Included.

Just Curious.

Is Anybody In Italy Who Heard About This?

Please, Answer Or Comment.

Thanks A Lot.

Yes, it is.

We sang the Partizan song earlier than the modern Italiens.

When you realise the truth of world history, you would know why there's

a connection between Italy and Corea.

Thanks For Comment.
But I Must Tell You One Thing.

'Korea' Was Originated From Koryo Dynasty (A.D. 918 - 1392).
(Like China Was Orignated From Chin Dynasty (B.C 221 - 207))
Also Koryo Claimed Herself As successor To The Kingdom Of Kokuryo
(B.C. 37 - A.D. 668), And Named After.

Do You Think Italian Surname 'Corea' Has Been Existed Before B.C. 37?

The info I wrote comes from Italian etymological Dictionarry Zanichelli (5 >voll. Cortellazzo, Zolli 1987).
Probably the name Korea for the country had a great success thanks to the >concordance between dynasty name and the use of word korea to indicate >italian overpopulate neighborhoods. So they can be both correct.

Surely there were italin surname Corea *before* the discovering of Korea >(and this is definitive about the question if having Corea surname implies >to have Korean ancestors : definitely no).

Surely before BC 37 the latin word chorea and the greek choros existed , >but in this case I don't know if they were used as surname.

ciao

The Case Of Italian Family Name 'Corea' Is OK.
But, I Must Tell You One More.
You Use The Word 'Discover' Again.
We Are Not Primitive People Who Has Been Waiting 'Discovered' By YOU.
We Has Been Living Well 'Before You Discovered Us'.
And May Has Been Living Well 'If Not Discovered'.
First Korean Nation 'Kochosun' Was Built In B.C 2333.
Our Korean Dicitionary Has 50,000 Over Korean Word.
Also, Chosun Dynasty (A.D. 1392-1910) Has Her History Book
Which Is Very Large To The Volume. # 1893 (Daily Written Exactly)
Please, Don't Despise Other Culture.
Please, Don't Use The Disgusting Word Such Like 'Discovered'

Question.
Who Discovered You?

I feel bad, too.
Even if 'DISCOVER' is a word that they use 'Usually', it makes me feel very ANGRY from the standpoint of listening.
I think it is a word that shows the attitude of looking at Korea in the West.
