Meaning & origin
Correne is an uncommon name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1911. It peaked in usage that same year, though still at very low numbers, and has since remained stable with occasional births. The name is a modern English variant of Corinne, itself derived from the Greek Kore meaning 'maiden.' Despite its rarity, Correne offers a familiar yet distinctive sound. As a respelling of an already established name, it fits a pattern of phonetic variation common in the early 20th century. Parents choosing Correne today may appreciate its connection to the more recognizable Corinne while giving their daughter a less common spelling.
