Since its emergence, Coriondi has captured the attention of people from different fields, generating conflicting opinions and passionate discussions. It doesn't matter if it is a scientific discovery, a public figure or a historical event, Coriondi has managed to transcend borders and attract the attention of society in general. In this article, we will explore in depth the impact and relevance of Coriondi in our world today, analyzing its importance in various contexts and its influence on different aspects of everyday life.

The Coriondi (Κοριονδοί) were a people of early Ireland, referred to in Ptolemy's 2nd century Geography as living in southern Leinster.[1]

Name

The stem *corio- ('army' or 'troop of warriors'), which is derived from Proto-Indo-European *kóryos ('army, people under arms'), also occurs in Gaulish and Brittonic personal and tribal names such as Coriosolites, Petrucorii, and Corionototae.[2]

Legacy

The Benntraige, a people dwelling in southern Ireland in pre-Christian times, might be a remnant of the tribe.[3] Eoin MacNeill identified another later Irish group, the Coraind, in the Boyne valley, as possibly the same people.[4]

Other possibly related names include the Corcu Cuirnd,[4] Cuirennrige and Dál Cuirind in early medieval Ireland, and in Britain, the Corionototae, known from an inscription in Hexham, Northumberland, and Corinion, the Brittonic name for Cirencester, Gloucestershire.[1]
