Corryna is Greek in Origin.

Corryna is a modern English respelling of Corina/Corinna, ultimately from Greek Korinna (Κορίννα), a diminutive of korē meaning “maiden.” The name is linked to the ancient Greek lyric poet Corinna of Tanagra and to the Latinized Corinna, the poetic beloved in Ovid’s Amores, which helped preserve the form in classical literature. Through Latin, the name spread into European languages, with Corina common in Romanian and Corinna in Italian and German contexts.

In English, interest rose during neoclassical revivals of the 18th–19th centuries and again in the 20th century, when the variant Corrina/Corinna gained pop-culture visibility via the blues standard “Corrina, Corrina.” Corryna follows contemporary trends that favor y-insertions and doubled consonants. Related forms include Corina, Corinna, Corrina, Corinne, Corine, Korina, and Coryna; nicknames range from Cori/Cory and Rina to Cora. The core meaning remains “maiden,” carrying a light, lyrical classical aura.
