History & Origin

Coreena is a decorative respelling of Corina and Corinna, all rooted in the Greek kore, 'maiden.' The added e gives the classical name a softer, more personal appearance while leaving its bright three-beat sound intact.

The spelling stayed uncommon, first appearing around its small peak in 1961 and lingering quietly for a few decades after. A Coreena from that time would be in her sixties today.

Did you know? The Greek poet Corinna and, later, poems addressed to a 'Corinna' kept the base name alive for centuries before American parents began dressing it up with extra letters.
