Korrina

Meaning & origin

Korrina is a modern, respelled variation of Corina, likely inspired by the Greek name Korinna meaning 'maiden'. It first appeared in U.S. data in 1961 and reached its peak popularity in 1996, after which its usage has steadily declined through 2025. Although it has never entered the top 1,000 names, Korrina reflects the trend toward distinctively spelled 'K' names that became fashionable in the late 20th century. As a name of modern origin, it carries no centuries-old tradition but offers a fresh, feminine sound similar to other 'ina' endings like Katrina or Karina. Its falling trajectory since 1995 suggests it is becoming less common, appealing to parents who prefer rare names without widespread usage.

Korrina is a modern English respelling of the name Corina or Corinne. Corina is a variant of Corinne, which derives from the Greek name Korinna, itself from the Greek word 'kore' meaning 'maiden' or 'girl'. The spelling with a 'K' emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend for distinctive 'K' names. The name first entered U.S. records in 1961, peaking in popularity in 1996 before declining.
