Family name origins & meanings

  • Hungarian, Czech, and Slovak : from korona, koruna ‘crown’ (from Latin corona ‘garland’, ‘chaplet’, ‘diadem’). The application as a surname is unclear: it may be a nickname for someone who lived in a house distinguished by this sign, or one who lived on a royal estate. Alternatively, it may be from the monetary unit korona ‘crown’.
