Modern invented name, likely a combination of De- and Corey
Decorey is a contemporary American name created by combining the popular prefix 'De-' with the established name Corey. While Corey has Gaelic roots meaning 'from the hollow,' Decorey functions as a unique, rhythmic invention without a singular ancient etymology. It gained some usage in the late 20th century as part of a trend of creating distinctive names within African American communities.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Decorey in 2025.
