Korrin

Meaning & origin

Korrin first appeared in U.S. records in 1962, a relatively late emergence that marks it as a modern coinage. It reached its peak usage in 1978, after which it has remained a rare but steadily given name. Unlike many invented names that surge and fade quickly, Korrin has shown remarkable stability, with a trajectory that has plateaued at low but consistent levels through the present, including 2025. The name is overwhelmingly given to girls and has never been recorded for boys in any significant number. Its enduring low-frequency use suggests it appeals to parents seeking a familiar-sounding yet uncommon name, perhaps inspired by the more established Corinne. Korrin's lack of association with any specific region or state underscores its broad but sparse appeal across the United States.

Korrin is a modern, invented name that first appeared in English-speaking countries in the mid-20th century. It is likely a respelling or variant of Corinne (from Greek 'kore,' meaning 'maiden') or Corin (from Latin 'Quirinus'). The spelling with 'K' gives it a distinctive, contemporary feel.
