Corazon

Corazon is a term that appears in multiple languages and contexts, most commonly as the Spanish word for the heart. In Spanish, corazon (with the accent coraz ón) denotes the anatomical organ and is also used metaphorically to refer to the center or core of something, as in the heart of a city. The unaccented form Corazon is common in English-language texts and in names that originate from Spanish-speaking cultures.

As a given name, Corazon is used in Spanish-speaking communities and, in the Philippines, where Corazón (with the accent) is a familiar personal name. A notable bearer is Corazón Cojuangco Aquino (1929–2009), commonly known as Corazón Aquino or Cory Aquino, who served as the 11th president of the Philippines and played a key role in the People Power Revolution.

In popular culture, Corazon is also used as a character name or alias. For example, in the manga and anime One Piece, the character Donquixote Rosinante operates under the alias Corazon.

The term also appears in various place names, artistic works, and institutions in Spanish-speaking regions, reflecting its cultural association with heart, center, or core. The non-accented spelling Corazon is frequently used in international or anglicized contexts, while the accented form Corazón remains standard in Spanish.
