Etymology

Uncertain. Traditionally believed by the Prince Damrong Rajanubhab to be a corruption of โคราฆ (koo-râak), a clipping of โคราฆปุระ (koo-raa-ká-bpù-rá), the name of an ancient city mentioned in Khmer inscriptions[1] (which might be derived from Sanskrit गोरखपुर (gorakhapura)) but disputed by modern scholar Sujit Wongthes, who argues that the term is a corruption of ครราช (kɔɔn-râat), a clipping of นครราชสีมา (ná-kɔɔn-râat-chá-sǐi-maa), the name of the province itself.[2]
