History & Origin

Correne varies Corrine or Corinne, the French form of the Greek Korinna, from 'kore' (maiden). The name reaches back to the poet Corinna and gained new life in French and English romantic use. This spelling smooths it to a soft two-beat sound; it appeared quietly in US records through much of the twentieth century.

It was never common, appearing in small numbers from the nineteen-tens onward and reaching only about fifteen girls in its best year around the early nineteen-thirties. It reads as a gentle vintage variant rather than a modern pick.

Did you know? Correne belongs to the Corinne family, whose ultimate namesake is Corinna, an ancient Greek poet; in US records it stayed an uncommon but steady early-century choice.
