Meaning & origin
Corrina is a rare feminine name, often considered a modern respelling of Corinne. First recorded in 1916, it reached its peak popularity in 1995, but has been declining in use since then. By 2025, it ranked 7,133, with an estimated 1 in 107,151 newborn girls receiving the name. The name has never been among the top 1,000, and it is not strongly associated with any particular state. Corrina offers a distinctive alternative to more common Cora or Corinne, with a melodic sound and versatile nickname options.
Corrina is a variant of Corinne, which ultimately derives from the Greek name Korinna, a feminine form of Korinos, meaning 'maiden' or 'little girl.' The name Corinne was popularized in English-speaking countries by the 1808 poem 'Corinne, or Italy' by Madame de Staël, but Corrina appears to be a modern respelling, likely influenced by names like Katrina. It has been in use in the United States since at least 1916, but it has never ranked among the top 1,000 names.
