Etymology edit
From Romansch Cuira, Cuoira, Cuera, Coira, Cuoira, from a Celtic language cŭria ("tribe, kin"), from earlier *korjā, *korā, which is attested in many place names. The often cited derivation from Latin cūria (“senate”) is widely discredited as the first vowel in the Romansh name cannot be inherited from the long Latin ū.[1]
