Koorine is in Origin.
Koorine is a rare modern feminine given name, most plausibly a creative spelling of Korine/Corinne. Through this line it connects to French Corinne, from Greek Korinna, a diminutive of korē “maiden,” giving the meaning “maiden” or “young woman.” The doubled oo sets it apart phonetically while keeping the familiar rhythm of Corinne and Karina.
Use of Koorine appears sporadically from the late 20th century, with instances notably in Australia. Some bearers or namers may also be influenced by the South Australian place-name Koorine near Lake Bonney; that toponym is of Aboriginal origin, though its precise etymology is uncertain, lending the given name a nature- and place-linked resonance rather than a fixed lexical sense. Related forms and variants include Korine, Korinne, Corinne, Corrine, Corina/Corinna, Korina, and Kora; diminutives such as Kori and Rina also occur.
Koorine does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
