Origin and meaning of Corinna
Corinna comes from the ancient Greek kórē (κόρη), 'maiden, young woman', softened by the affectionate suffix -inna. It evokes youthful freshness and grace. The name carries an echo of the poetess Corinna of Tanagra, a figure of ancient Boeotia. Popular mainly in German- and English-speaking countries, in Italy it stays elegant yet uncommon; the French Corinne is its best-known form abroad.
