Meaning & origin
Corinda is a rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1943. It enjoyed a modest peak in 1978, when it was most frequently given, but has never ranked among the top 1,000 names. Its trajectory is stable, reflecting very low but consistent usage over the decades. While no top states are recorded, the name's similarity to Cora and Linda suggests a familiar yet distinctive style. Corinda remains an uncommon choice, attractive to parents seeking a unique name with a melodic sound.
Corinda likely arose as a modern coinage in the mid-20th century, possibly blending the popular name Cora with the suffix -inda, seen in names like Linda and Melinda. It may also be a variant of Corinna, from the Greek Korinna meaning 'maiden.' The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1943 and saw modest usage through the 1970s, though it never ranked in the top 1,000.
