Corinda is English in Origin.

Corinda is a feminine given name formed as an elaboration of the Cor- family, especially Corinna/Corina and Corinne, ultimately tied to Greek Kore "maiden" and the poet's name Korinna. In the 18th and 19th centuries, English and Romance naming fashions often added the -inda ending (as in Belinda, Florinda, Lucinda), and Corinda fits that pattern. French literary influence via Madame de Stael's Corinne (1807) also helped keep the base name in circulation, from which Corinda likely arose in English- and Spanish/Portuguese-speaking contexts.

Recorded in Britain, the United States, and Australia from the late 1800s onward, Corinda has remained uncommon but recognizable. It appears occasionally in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities alongside Corina/Corinna. Meaning centers on "maiden; young woman" through the Greek root. Variants and relatives include Corina, Corinna, Corinne, Corine, Corrina, and Cora; short forms include Cora, Cory, Rina, or Rinda.
