Corria is almost unique, while Corrias is widespread throughout Sardinia, a noble family that in 1644 received the title of Nobile Sardo and Cavaliere Ereditario with the authorization to use the title of Don, it should derive from the Sardinian word corria (corrora, but also hinge, leather lace, string, strip of land as a linear measure) (in the plural corrias), perhaps identifying the land of which the family was the owner, like a narrow and long strip. additions provided by Giuseppe Concas CORRIA; CORRIAS: corrìa = corrocca, of leather or other. From the Latin corrigia. A land run is a strip of land. Corriàtzu = of hard skin: it is also said in person. Iscorriàu = tattered.
