Corvina is the feminine form of the Latin cognomen Corvinus, ultimately from corvus, “raven,” giving the meaning “raven-like” or “of the raven.” In antiquity the name appeared in the Roman gens Valeria (e.g., Marcus Valerius Corvus), and its prestige echoed in the Renaissance through Matthias Corvinus, king of Hungary. Across European heraldry the raven symbol signified vigilance and shrewdness, nuances often associated with this name.

As a given name, Corvina is rare, seen sporadically in Italy, Spain, and the English-speaking world since the nineteenth century, aligning with classical and avian trends. Variants and related forms include the masculine Corvinus and Corvin, French-derived Corbin and Corbett, and Raven; spellings sometimes render it Korvina. Nicknames include Vina, Cori, or Cora. Corvina also names a Veneto red grape and, in Spanish, a fish; these are separate uses likely influenced by dark color or sound, while the personal name’s core meaning remains “raven.”
