Corran

Corran is a name that appears in several distinct contexts, including geography, transport, and fiction. In Scotland, Corran denotes a locality on the Ardgour peninsula along Loch Linnhe in the western Highlands. The area is linked to the Fort William region by the Corran Ferry, a vehicle ferry that crosses Loch Linnhe and serves as a transportation link for residents and visitors.

As a personal name, Corran is used as a given name or surname, though it is relatively uncommon in contemporary usage. In popular culture, Corran is best known as the given name of Corran Horn, a Star Wars character. Corran Horn is a Corellian pilot who becomes a Jedi Knight and appears in Star Wars Legends material, including the X-Wing novels and related Expanded Universe works. The character’s presence has helped keep the name in circulation among fans of the franchise.

Overall, Corran functions mainly as a locale name in Scotland and as a personal name with a foothold in science fiction through the Star Wars character. Its usage outside these contexts is limited, making Corran a relatively niche term with both regional and fictional associations.
