Meaning & origin
Korynn first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1971, a modern respelling of Corinne that gained modest traction. It reached its peak rank of 13,208 in 2001, and has been rising in use again since 1986. While never highly common, its distinctive spelling appeals to parents seeking a twist on a classic. The name carries the Greek meaning 'maiden', but its modern form owes more to English naming trends than to ancient roots.
Korynn is a modern English respelling of Corinne, which derives from the Greek name Korinna. Korinna itself is a diminutive of Kore, meaning 'maiden', an epithet of the goddess Persephone. The name Corinne was introduced to the English-speaking world in the 19th century and has since seen various spellings, with Korynn being a 20th-century innovation.
