Níl de thagairtí stairiúla againn ach 1805 ‘Knuckacharra’ Cahill, 1838 ‘Knockachara Mountain’ Descr. Rem.:AL. Measaimid in ainneoin an litrithe seo ‘-char(r)a’ gur móide gur currach atá sa cháilitheoir — níl ar an sliabh ach portach (www.epa.ie). Réitíonn litriú an lae inniu -chorra leis an réadú coitianta béarlaithe ar currach, gin. churraigh (faoi bhéim) sa chontae, m.sh. /kuːləˈkorə/ (#28009), /ˈkorək/ (#28000), /ˈkorə/ (#28853) (cf. /logəˈkorən/ (#28183)). Ní cosúil go bhfuil baint ag ainm an tsléibhe le bf Garbhach Íochtarach/Uachtarach (#28411, #28412) lastoir.
Is botún é Knockachoora Mountain ar na léarscáileanna is déanaí de chuid www.osi.ie (cf. Sraith Eolais/Discovery Series).
