A name that means "heart (corazon aquino, first female philippine president)".

Corazon is from the Spanish corazón (heart) — a Marian devotional name from Sagrado Corazón de María (Sacred Heart of Mary). Corazon Aquino (1933-2009)"Cory" — Filipina politician who in February 1986 led the bloodless People Power Revolution that overthrew the 21-year Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship; became the 11th President of the Philippines and the first female president in Asia not from a political dynasty rising via inheritance. Time Person of the Year (1986). Widow of opposition leader Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., assassinated at Manila International Airport in 1983 — the act that catalyzed the revolution. Her presidency restored democracy and the 1987 Constitution; she peacefully transferred power in 1992 — a Filipino first. Mother of Benigno III, who later also served as Philippine president (2010-2016).
