Meaning & origin
Corrinna is an elaborated form of Cora or Corinna, first recorded in the United States in 1961. It peaked in popularity during 1976, ranking #3,246 that year, and has since maintained a stable but low usage pattern. The name has never appeared in the top 1,000, making it a rare and distinctive choice. Its sound aligns with other Latinate feminine names, but it never achieved widespread adoption. With no top states reported, its use remains scattered across the country.
Corrinna is a Latinate elaboration of Cora or a variant spelling of Corinna. The name Corinna was used by the ancient Greek poet Pindar for a Boeotian poetess, and later revived in the Renaissance. In English-speaking countries, Corrinna has been used sporadically since the 20th century, often as a feminine and ornate form.
