Koryn is a modern American respelling that first appeared on the U.S. baby name charts in 1975, part of a wave of names starting with 'K' that surged in the late 20th century. It reached its peak popularity in the year 2000, though even at that high point it remained a rare choice.

Koryn is a modern American spelling variant of Corin or Corinne, ultimately derived from the Greek name Korinna, a diminutive of Kore, meaning 'maiden'.
