Meaning & Origin

A female given name from Ancient Greek.

Corinne is a girl's and boy's baby name of Greek origin, from Korinna, derived from kore, meaning 'maiden' or 'young girl.' It was the name of a celebrated ancient Greek lyric poet from Tanagra, said to have defeated the great Pindar in competition.

The French form Corinne gained literary fame as the title of Germaine de Staël's influential 1807 novel. In American usage it peaked mid-20th century and now carries that appealing vintage quality — familiar enough to feel timeless, rare enough to feel distinctive.
