Coryne is Greek in Origin.

Coryne is a modern spelling variant of the Corinne/Corinna family of names, rooted in ancient Greek. The source is Greek Korinna (Κόριννα), a diminutive of korē “maiden, young woman,” later Latinized as Corinna and adopted into French as Corinne; the -y- in Coryne reflects contemporary Anglophone and Francophone taste and the influence of Corey/Cori.

Documented since the 20th century, Coryne remains rare compared with Corinne, which spread widely after Madame de Staël’s 1807 novel Corinne and echoes the reputation of the Greek lyric poet Corinna of Tanagra. The meaning is “maiden,” often associated with freshness and youth. Related forms include Corinne, Corine, Corina, Corinna, Korinna, Coryn, Koryn, Corynne/Korynne; short forms Cori/Cory, Rina, and Cora are common. The name is used primarily for girls but can read unisex in English due to overlap with Corey.
