What is the meaning of the name Corynne ?

Corynne is Greek, Latin in Origin.

Corynne is a modern English variant of Corinne, itself the French form of Corinna, from Greek Korinna (Κοριννα), a diminutive of Korē “maiden,” an epithet of Persephone. Via Latin and French, the name came to signify “maiden” or “maidenly,” carrying connotations of youthful grace. The y in Corynne reflects contemporary respellings influenced by the nickname Cory and the double‑n/e pattern of Corinne.

The name’s cultural trail runs from the 5th‑century BCE Boeotian poet Corinna and Ovid’s literary beloved “Corinna,” to Madame de Staël’s bestselling novel Corinne (1807), which propelled the French form across Europe. In English-speaking countries, Corinne/Corrine saw mid‑20th‑century popularity, while Corynne remains rare but recognizable. Related forms include Corinne, Corrine, Corina, Corinna, Korina, and Korinna; short forms Cora, Cory, and Rina are common. Additional modern variants such as Corynn, Coryn, and Coryna also appear.
