Corina is Greek, Spanish in Origin.

Corina is a Romance-language form of Greek Korinna, a diminutive of kórē “maiden, girl.” The name appears in classical literature: a 5th‑century BCE Boeotian poet named Corinna, and Ovid used Latinized Corinna as the poetic beloved in his Amores. Through Latin and French, the form Corinne gained prestige, famously revived by Madame de Staël’s 1807 novel Corinne, which then carried the name into English circles in the 19th century. In Romanian and Spanish contexts, Corina became the prevailing spelling and remains well established.

Variants include Corinna, Corinne, Corine, Korina, and Korinna; related short forms are Cora, Cori/Cory, and Rina. The core meaning “maiden” evokes youth and renewal and is linked to the cultic title of Persephone as Kórē. Usage has ebbed and flowed, peaking in various countries during the mid-to-late 20th century while continuing as a familiar, gently classical choice.
