The spelling is probably author dependent. :-)

The words 'rank' and 'corank' appear all over the Fortran
standard.  Both are the names on intrinsic routines or
names of dummy arguments or simply used to describe a property
of an array or coarray.  I suspect that if you grep the 
gfortran source code, you'll find errors message with 'rank' and
'RANK', and cases where the word is printed with %qs formatting.
