History & Origin

Corynne is a respelling of Corinne, the French form of a Greek name from kore, meaning maiden or young woman. The name has a long literary history, borne by an ancient Greek poetess and revived by later French and English writers. This spelling appears in United States records from the late 1970s and peaked quietly in the early 1990s, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.

A Corynne from that early-1990s high is now in her thirties. With vintage French names enjoying fresh attention, the standard Corinne has a gentle revival, and this spelling rides alongside it as an uncommon but graceful variant.

Did you know? Corynne is one of several dressed-up spellings of Corinne, a name the poet Robert Herrick helped popularize in English centuries ago.
