Korun

Korun is a proper noun encountered as a Slavic surname and, less commonly, as a given name. It is most often found in Central European contexts and may appear in genealogical or historical records. As with many surnames, its spelling and pronunciation vary with language and local tradition, and no single figure is universally associated with the name.

In linguistic and monetary contexts, koruna is the name of the currency in the Czech Republic and has historical significance in Slovakia. The forms korun (Czech) or korún (Slovak) are genitive plural inflected after numerals five and higher when counting money. The base word koruna has cognates across Slavic languages and is linked to the concept of a crown or coin in monetary history.

Because Korun can function as both a surname and a monetary term, it may appear in diverse records, including biographical, linguistic, and genealogical material. In text, the intended meaning is determined by context: as a name, it is a proper noun; as part of currency references, it is an inflected form related to the word koruna.
