Kerynna is a modern English given name, likely formed by adding the feminine -a to Keryn/Kerryn - names used as feminine forms of Irish Ciarán, “little dark one.” Its sound also echoes Greek Corinna/Korinna (“maiden”) and may be associated by some with Hebrew Keren (“ray of light; horn”). As a contemporary blend without a single historical root, its meaning is typically interpreted through these sources: “little dark one” or “maiden,” with the alternative reading “ray of light.”

Usage is very rare and mainly found in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century onward, especially in communities that favor inventive elaborations. Spelling variants and near-forms include Kerinna, Keryna, Kerina, Kerynnah, and Keryn; related names are Kerryn, Corinna, Karina, Keren, and Kerenza. Diminutives such as Keri, Ryn, and Rinna occur in informal use.
