The data capture of the place name from Trubia The Coritu peak or The Coritu in a place name research made by this author, was the starting point to make him study about the term Coritu and its possibie origins. The current meaning is quite clear in the modern dictionaries (DALLA), it seems to be also quite clear the correspondence of the physical signs with the meanings given to the current place namefrorn Trubia. Despite this, in a second step, the search for alternatives took us to the well known articie by Canellada where the term coritu is used during the Golden Age to describe the Asturian people. This place name would be easily explained frorm this point of view: the Asturian people who migrated to the city, not very well seen, wearing just some animal skins and leather, would give reason to the use of the term coritu with which the Castillian people would call thern. The semantic change towards the meaning of "naked" or shaved seems easy. This conception of naked would penetrate in the language and would be the one that gives sense to our place name. But the acceptation of the origin of the term in the Spanish Golden Age would lead us to accept quite a modern origin for the place name what does fol seem probable. As a consequence the following questions appear in a natural way: Which is the real age for the term coritu? What is the real age for the use of the term as to describe the Asturian people? Is it for sure the theory that Canellada mentions which relates the term with the meaning "leather" and what relates it just to this field? The latter investigation searching for an earlier start for this term took us surprisingly to the Virgil's Eneida as we were able to find out references that allowed us to date the term coritu which was used as to define people from a place in Augustus' territories, sort to say, in the Astures area. All along this search, the different etymology possibilities helped to make things even more difficult. Our paper will try to clear ah these questions and some other related to them.
La recoyida del topónimu trubiecu El Picu Coritu o El Coritu nun estudiu toponímicu fechu pol autor llevólu a investigar el términu coritu y el so posible aniciu. El significáu actual del términu ye perclaru nos actuales diccionarios (DALLA), y clara paez tamién la correspondencia física de los significaos daos col actual topónimu trubiecu. Sicasí, nun segundu pasu, la busca d¿altematives llevónos al conocíu artículu de Canellada onde s'afita que'l términu coritu foi emplegáu nel Sieglu d'Oru español como xentiliciu de los asturianos. El nuesu topónimu sedría, darréu, esplicable cenciellamente dende esta dómina: los asturianos emigraos a la capital, mal vistíos, con simples pelleyes o cueros, daríen motivu pal emplegu del nomatu coritu, col que los designaríen los castellanos. El desplazamientu semánticu al sentíu de "desnudu" o "peláu" paez cenciellu. Esti sentíu de "desnudu" penetraría na llingua, y sedría'l qu¿actualmente sedría aplicable al nuesu topónimu. Pero l'aceutación del orixe del términu nel Sieglu d'Oru español empobinaríanos a aceutar un aniciu mui modernu pal nuesu topónimu, lo que nun abulta probable. Darréu, les entrugues siguientes aprucen de forma natural: ¿qué antigüedá real tien el términu coritu? ¿qué antigüedá real tien la so aplicación como xentiliciu de los asturianos? ¿va con seguridá la so etimoloxía na llinia señalada por Canellada, que lu rellaciona cola voz cueru y lu arreya a esta dómina concreta? La investigación posterior en gueta d'un aniciu más tempranu del nuesu términu empobinónos darréu, sorprendentemente, hasta la Eneida de Virxilio, pues fuimos quien a atopar referencies que permiten quiciabes datar el términu coritu, emplegáu como xentiliciu, na dómina d'Augusto, esto ye, na dómina de los ástures. Nel camín percorríu, les estremaes posibilidaes etimolóxiques inda vienen a enguedeyar más les coses. De toes estes cuestiones y otres venceyaes a les mesmes, pretendemos dar cuenta na nuesa comunicación.
