History & Origin

Karinne is a decorative spelling of Karin and Carine, which are Danish and French short forms of Katherine (Greek Aikaterine, traditionally read as 'pure'). The added letters give a familiar name a dressier, Continental air.

It never rose far, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak in the late nineteen-seventies. A Karinne from that time would be reaching middle age today.

Did you know? Karin traveled to America as the Scandinavian form of Katherine; Karinne is its more ornamental spelling, leaning on a French look with the final silent e.
