What is the meaning of the name Corinne ?

The baby name Corinne is a Female name , 23 syllables long and is pronounced /kəˈrɪn/ (kuh-RIN),/kəˈriːn/ (kuh-REEN),French: /kɔ.ʁin/ (ko-REEN).

Corinne is Greek in Origin.

Corinne is the French form of Corinna, from ancient Greek Korinna, a diminutive of Kore ("maiden, girl"), hence the meaning "little maiden." The name appears in classical literature: a Boeotian poet named Korinna was reputed to have rivaled Pindar, and the Latinized Corinna figures as the beloved in Ovid's Amores. Via Latin and French, Corinne entered wider European use, gaining particular cachet after Madame de Stael's 1807 novel Corinne, ou l'Italie, which propelled the elegant French spelling into English.

Common variants include Corinna (Greek/German/Italian), Corina and Corine (Romance/Dutch), Corrine and Corrinne (English), and the rarer Coreen, Corene, and Koreen; related diminutives include Cora and Corrie. English pronunciations vary "kuh-RIN" and "koh-REEN", while French is koh-REEN. In Britain and North America it has been seen as a cultured, gently vintage choice, enjoying periodic revivals without ever feeling overused.
