What is the meaning of the name Correne ?

Correne is Greek in Origin.

Correne is a modern English variant of Corinne/Corene, the French and English forms of the Greek name Korinna (Corinna), a diminutive of kórē, “maiden, girl.” Through its root kore, the name is linked to the epithet of Persephone, reinforcing themes of youth and renewal. The spelling with -rene likely reflects English preference for -ene/-een endings and occasional influence from names like Irene, while preserving the sense “maiden.”

In use, Correne has appeared sporadically in the Anglophone world, shadowing the wider popularity of Corinne and Corrine from the late 19th to mid‑20th centuries. The Boeotian poet Korinna and Ovid’s literary Corinna sustained classical awareness, and Madame de Staël’s novel Corinne (1807) helped revive the name in Europe. Close variants include Corinne, Corrine, Corine, Corrinne, Corene, Coreen, Correen, Corinna, Corina, and Koreen; common short forms are Cori and Corrie.
