kourin is in Origin.

Kourin is a Japanese given name, a romanization of Kōrin (こうりん). Its meaning depends on the kanji: 光琳 (light + gem) conveys a sense of radiant jewel, while 香凛 (fragrance + dignified) or 紅凛 (crimson + dignified) create contemporary, often feminine nuances. Because the elements are flexible, parents can aim for brilliance, elegance, or poise.

Attested since the Edo period through the painter Ogata Kōrin, the name has ties to classical arts and was once chiefly masculine. Today it is broadly unisex, with kanji choices guiding perception. Variants include Kōrin (with macron), Korin (macron omitted), and Koorin; Kourin reflects the kana spelling kou-rin and the common workaround when macrons aren’t used. Outside Japan it is sometimes associated by sound with Corinne/Korin, though the Japanese etymology is independent.
