Corrina is Greek in Origin.

Corrina traces to Greek Korinna, a diminutive of Kore meaning "maiden," yielding the sense "little maiden" or simply "maiden." In antiquity the name was borne by Korinna, a lyric poet of Boeotia, and it entered Latin as Corinna, famously the beloved of Ovid’s Amores (likely a literary pseudonym). Humanist revival and later Romanticism kept the name in circulation across Europe.

Variants include Corinna and Corina in English; French Corinne; German/Greek Korinna; Spanish/Italian Corina; and the modern Anglicized spelling Corrina. Diminutives and nicknames include Cora, Cori or Cory, and Rina. Use in English rose in the 19th century via Mme de Stael’s novel Corinne, and in the 20th century the spelling Corrina gained pop-cultural visibility through the blues/folk standard "Corrina, Corrina." The name feels classical yet approachable, bridging literary heritage with a warm, musical cadence.
