Meaning & origin
Corrinne is a rare spelling variant of Corinne that first appeared in U.S. records in 1888, during a period when ornate spellings were fashionable. Its peak usage occurred in 1898, after which it declined steadily, though it has remained in occasional use. The trajectory has been largely stable, with no significant revival. Corrinne has never ranked in the top 1,000 names, and its most frequent appearances coincided with the late 1890s, reflecting the broader popularity of Corinne at that time.
Corrinne is a spelling variant of Corinne, which derives from the Greek name Korinna, a diminutive of korē meaning "maiden." The name was popularized in the English-speaking world through literary use, notably in Madame de Staël's 1807 novel "Corinne." The doubled 'r' and 'n' in Corrinne reflect a common 19th-century tendency to alter spellings for distinction.
