History & Origin

Corinthia takes its name from Corinth, the wealthy Greek city of antiquity, meaning roughly 'woman of Corinth'. The name gained quiet familiarity from the New Testament Corinthians and from its pleasant overlap in sound with Cynthia.

In the U.S. it saw scattered use across the twentieth century, with a faint later high point around 1992. It was never common — only a few dozen girls a year at most.

Did you know? Corinthia is also the name of a southern Austrian region (Carinthia) and a well-known hotel group, but as a girl's name it points to ancient Corinth and Paul's biblical letters to its church.
