Rinnie is in Origin.

Rinnie is an English-language pet form used both as an independent given name and as a nickname across several roots. It most often shortens Corinne/Corinna (French from Greek Korinna), Catherine/Katherine and Gaelic Catrìona, and it can also arise from the many -rina names (Katerina, Marina, Sabrina, Karina) via Rina. Records show it as a cozy byname in the late 19th–20th centuries in Britain and North America, with modest revival today alongside other nickname-as-name choices.

Meaning follows the source: from Katherine/Katerina, “pure”; from Corinne/Corinna, “maiden”; from Hebrew Rina, “joy; song”; in Japanese contexts, Rinnie may be a cute elaboration of Rin, whose kanji commonly mean “dignified,” “grove,” or “gem.” Variant spellings and short forms include Rinny, Rini, Rina, and Rin; related long forms span Corinne, Corinna, Catherine, Catrìona, Katerina, Marina, Sabrina, and Karina.
