For those who don't live around a Portuguese speaking population and are scratching their heads....
Correia should be pronounced pretty close to core-RAY-ah. But what happens is the ending vowel gets clipped or dropped off. So it comes out more like core-RAY. You say that fast 5 times and it'll sound like Gray. I think the literal translation has something to do with a belt.
