Corina is a Latinate form of the ancient Greek name Korinna, derived from korē, meaning girl or maiden. The Greek poet Korinna of Tanagra, active around the fifth or fourth century BCE, is one of the earliest recorded bearers, lending the name a classical literary heritage. It spread through Latin usage and has remained in use across Romance and Germanic languages in various spellings, with closely related forms including Corinna, Corine, and Korina.
