Corynah is a modern, ornamental elaboration of Corinna/Corina, ultimately from the Greek name Korinna, a diminutive of kore meaning "maiden." Via Latin Corinna and its French offshoot Corinne, the name entered Western vernaculars; it was borne by the ancient Boeotian lyric poet Corinna and chosen by Ovid for the beloved in his Amores. English literary fashion revived it in the 17th century; Robert Herrick's "Corinna's going a-Maying" helped cement its pastoral charm, and it saw steady use through the 19th and 20th centuries in various European languages.

Corynah preserves the classic meaning "maiden; little maid" while adding a contemporary -y- and -h flourish. Close variants include Corinna, Corina, Corrina, Corinne, Corine, Korinna, Korina, Coryna, and Koryna; diminutives and nicknames range from Cora and Cory to Rina and Coco.
