What is the meaning of the name Corianna ?

Corianna is English in Origin.

Corianna blends classical Greek and Hebraic roots. It most plausibly develops as an elaboration of Corinna/Corina - Latinized from Greek Korinna, a diminutive of Kore “maiden” - with the -anna ending linked to Anna (from Hebrew Channah, “grace” or “favor”). Together, Corianna carries the resonant sense of “graceful maiden,” while also echoing Cora, a name associated with Persephone in myth.

Usage of Corianna surfaces in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century as a modern, lyrical variant; it remains uncommon but familiar through its elements. The older forms have rich literary pedigrees: the 5th-century BCE Boeotian poet Corinna, Ovid’s muse “Corinna,” Herrick’s “Corinna’s going a‑Maying,” and Madame de Staël’s celebrated Corinne (1807). Variants and spellings include Corinna, Corina, Corinne, Coriane, Coriana, Corianne, Korianna, and Koryanna; diminutives Cora, Cori/Cory, Ria, and Anna. Typical pronunciations: kohr-ee-AN-uh or kohr-ee-AH-nuh.
