Korrinna is Greek in Origin.
Korrinna is a modern, embellished form of Korinna/Corinna, ultimately from the Ancient Greek Korinna, a diminutive of kore meaning "maiden, girl." The name is linked to Corinna of Tanagra, a Boeotian lyric poet reputed to have influenced Pindar, which helped carry it into Roman literature; Ovid famously used Corinna for his beloved in the Amores. After sporadic medieval use, it revived during the Renaissance and later found periodic favor in German- and French-speaking Europe and, eventually, the Anglophone world.
The K- initial reflects Central and Eastern European spellings, while the doubled r echoes English Corrina, making Korrinna an uncommon but intelligible hybrid. Close variants include Corinna, Korinna, Corrina, Corina, Corinne/Corine, and Korina; short forms include Cora, Cori/Kori, Rina, and Ina. Across all spellings, the meaning is consistent: a classical, cultured "maiden" with literary pedigree.
Nothing for Korrinna shows up in the birth registries or name datasets we track. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
