Corintha is Greek in Origin.

Corintha is a place-derived feminine name rooted in Ancient Greek. It traces to Korinthos, the famed city of Corinth; the demonym Korinthia inspired Latin and English forms meaning "woman of Corinth" or "from Corinth." Through classical and ecclesiastical transmission (via Latin Corinthus/Corinthia and the New Testament letters to the Corinthians), the name took shape in English as Corintha, a streamlined variant of Corinthia.

Attested sporadically in the 18th-19th centuries in Britain and North America, Corintha fit the era's taste for classical and biblical place-names, and it persisted occasionally in the American South and African American communities into the early 20th century. Established variants include Corinthia, Korintha/Korinthia, and the Romance Corinta; related forms are the simpler Corinth and the adjective-like Corinthian. Informal shortenings Cora, Cory, Rina, and Thia are typical. Today Corintha remains rare, offering a vintage-classical profile with clear geographic and scriptural resonance.
