Corinnah is Greek in Origin.
Corinnah is a modern English respelling of Corinna, from Ancient Greek Korinna (Κορίννα), the diminutive of korē “maiden,” yielding the meaning “little maiden” or “maidenly one.” The name passed into Latin as Corinna and into many European languages; English pronunciations include kə-RIN-ə and kor-IN-ə.
Classical associations are strong: the Boeotian lyric poet Corinna (5th c. BCE) and Ovid’s Corinna in the Amores kept it in literary memory, later revived in Renaissance and Neoclassical circles. In English it surfaces in Robert Herrick’s “Corinna’s going a-Maying” (1648); Madame de Staël’s Corinne (1807) boosted the French form. Modern variants span Corinna, Korinna (German), Corina (Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese), Corinne/Corine (French, English), Corrina/Corrine (English). Corinnah’s final -h is a late 20th‑century ornamental flourish, akin to Hannah or Norah, while the core meaning remains “maiden.”
Corinnah does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
