History & Origin

Korrine is a variant of Corinne, the French form of the Greek Corinna, from 'kore', 'maiden'. Corinna was the name of an ancient Greek poet and later a favorite in French and English verse. The K spelling and doubled r give Korrine a contemporary edge over the classic Corinne while keeping its gentle meaning.

This spelling was never common, appearing for only a couple of dozen girls a year around its high point near 1993. A girl given it then is in her thirties now. It reads as an of-its-moment respelling of an old poetic name.

Did you know? Korrine shares its root with Cora and Corinna, all from the Greek 'kore', 'maiden', a word that also names the young grain goddess Persephone.
