== Etymology ==<br />
The name Koranad is derived from the older term ''Koorai-nadu''. Historically, this locality in [[Mayiladuthurai]], Tamil Nadu, was known for the production of [[Koorai silk saree|''koorai'' silk sarees]], a traditional silk-cotton blend sarees typically worn by brides during [[Hindus|Hindu]] weddings. The prominence of this textile craft led to the region being referred to as Koorai-nadu, meaning "land of koorai ([[Sari|sarees]])". Over time, the name underwent phonetic changes and evolved into the modern form Korand.<ref name="railwayguidep52">{{cite book|title=Illustrated guide to the South Indian Railway (Incorporated in England): including the Tanjore District Board, Pondicherry, Peralam-Karaikkal, Travancore State, Cochin State, Coimbatore District Board, Tinnevelly-Tiruchendur, and the Nilgiri Railways|pages=12|publisher=South Indian Railway Co.
