History & Origin

Korine is a variant spelling of Corinne, from the Greek Korinna, a little form of kore, 'maiden'. An ancient Greek poet named Corinna is the name's earliest famous bearer, and the K-spelling gives the classical name a cleaner, more modern look.

It appears thinly in American records in recent decades and reached its slim peak in the early nineteen-nineties. A girl named Korine then is in her mid-thirties today.

Did you know? Corinne and its spellings trace back to Korinna, a woman poet of ancient Greece, so Korine carries a quiet literary heritage under its modern K.
