The Corionototae were a group of Ancient Britons apparently inhabiting what is now Northern England about whom very little is known.
They were recorded in one Roman votary inscription (now lost) from Corbridge, of uncertain date, which commemorated the victory of a prefect of cavalry, Quintus Calpurnius Concessinius, over them.
Greek koíranos, Old Norse herjann; ultimately from Proto-Indo-European (PIE) *kóryos, 'army, people under arms'), attached to the word totae ('tribe, people'), itself derived from PIE *teutéh₁- ('people', perhaps 'people under arms'; cf.
Charles-Edwards has proposed a tribal name based on an hypothetical deity *Corionos instead.
[5] On the basis of the similarity of the names, writers such as Charles-Edwards, Waldman and Mason have suggested a link with the Irish ethnonym Coriondi,[5][6] while other earlier writers, erroneously linking the name to the Gaelic Cruthin, thought it could refer to the Picts.
