Spanish and Italian: from Spanish, Italian corona
‘crown’ (Latin corona ‘garland’, ‘chaplet’, ‘diadem’), perhaps
applied as a habitational name for someone who lived in a house with
this sign, or as a nickname for someone who had a tonsure in
fulfillment of a religious vow or who had influence and
power.
Italian: from the female personal name Corona, of
the same derivation as 1.
