Corrinna is Greek in Origin.

Corrinna is a modern Anglicized elaboration of Corinna, ultimately from the Greek Korínna, a pet form of kórē, “maiden,” a title of Persephone. The name appears in antiquity with the Boeotian poet Corinna and gained literary fame when Ovid used Corinna as the beloved in his Amores; through Latin and humanist taste it spread into European naming, reappearing in English and German during the 17th–19th centuries.

Variants and cognates include Corinna (standard/Latin), Korinna (German), Corina (Romanian and Spanish/Portuguese), Corinne (French), and English respellings such as Corrina, Corrine, and Corrinne. Nicknames span Cora, Cori/Cory, and Rina. The double‑r, double‑n Corrinna is rare in historical records but surfaces in late‑20th‑century Anglophone use, helped by the visibility of the folk‑blues standard “Corrine, Corrina” (and Dylan’s “Corrina, Corrina”), which normalized r‑heavy spellings. Meaning: “maiden,” “little maiden,” with a classical yet warm sound.
