Corinthia is Greek in Origin.

Corinthia is a feminine given name derived from the ancient Greek toponym Korinthos (Κόρινθος), source of the Latin forms Corinthus and Corinthia. As a byname it means "woman of Corinth" or "from Corinth," with Corinthia also the classical name of the surrounding region (modern Greek Korinthía). The -ia ending helped it pass smoothly into use as a personal name in English and other European languages.

Records show sporadic use in Britain and the United States from the late 18th century through the Victorian era, when classical revival tastes and biblical familiarity with the Epistles to the Corinthians lent it cultural resonance. The name remains rare but distinctive today. Variants and spellings include Korinthia, Corintha, and the simplified Corinth; related forms are Corinthian (very rare) and the surname-style Corinth. Possible short forms are Cora, Cori/Cory, Rina, and Thia.
