History & Origin

Korynn is a contemporary respelling of Corinne, which comes through French from the Greek Korinna, a diminutive of kore, 'maiden; girl'. Korinna was a lyric poet of Boeotia, remembered in tradition as a rival of Pindar. The name passed into French and English use, and modern American families have restyled it with a K and a doubled n. The spelling adds no meaning, which we note (said 'KOR-in').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S., against wider use of Corinne. Rare spelling, ancient root.

Did you know? Corinne traces to the Greek Korinna, a diminutive of kore, 'maiden' — and to a real Greek poet of that name, said to have competed against Pindar. Korynn is the modern respelling (said 'KOR-in').
