Corrie

Corrie is an English and Dutch diminutive form, used independently as a given name. In English it typically derives from Cora, which traces back to Greek Korē, meaning maiden, a title associated with the goddess Persephone. In Dutch contexts it functions as a short form of Cornelia, the feminine of the Latin family name Cornelius, traditionally linked to the Latin word cornu, meaning horn. The Dutch humanitarian and author Corrie ten Boom brought international recognition to the name in the twentieth century, and related forms include Cora, Cori, Cornelia, and Corinne.
