Coriondi

The Coriondi (Κοριονδοί) were a people of early Ireland, referred to in Ptolemy's 2nd century Geography as living in southern Leinster.^[1] MacNeill identifies a later Irish group, the Coraind, in the Boyne valley, who may be the same people.^[2] Other possibly related names include the Corcu Cuirnd,^[2] Cuirennrige and Dál Cuirind in early medieval Ireland, and in Britain, the Corionototae, known from an inscription in Hexham, Northumberland, and Corinion, the Brythonic name for Cirencester, Gloucestershire.^[1] The element *corio- also occurs in Gaulish personal and tribal names, usually taken to mean an army or troop of warriors.^[3]
