What is the meaning of the name Correena ?

The baby name Correena is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /kəˈriːnə/,kuh-REE-nuh.

Correena is Greek in Origin.

Correena is a modern elaboration and phonetic respelling of the classical name Corinna/Corina, ultimately from Greek Korinna, a diminutive of Kore meaning "maiden." The name appears in antiquity with the Boeotian poet Corinna and entered Latin literature as the poetic beloved "Corinna" in Ovid's Amores. Through Latin and French transmission it yielded forms such as Corinne in France and Britain.

Usage in English rose with neoclassical tastes and was notably reinforced by Madame de Stael's bestselling novel Corinne (1807). Correena itself remains rare, surfacing in late 20th-century English-speaking records as a spelling that cues the kuh-REE-nuh pronunciation. Variants and relatives include Corinna, Corrina, Corina, Corinne, Coreena, Coreen, Corene, and Korina; short forms include Cora, Cory, Rina, and Reena. Sometimes confused with Karina/Carina (from Latin carus "dear"), Correena belongs to the Greek "maiden" family and keeps that graceful, timeless meaning.
