Corrine

Corrine is an English given name derived from the French Corinne, which itself traces back to the ancient Greek Korinna, a diminutive form of Kore meaning maiden or girl. The Greek lyric poet Korinna, said to have been a contemporary and rival of Pindar in the fifth century BCE, is among the earliest notable bearers of the name. The name gained wider literary prominence through Madame de Staël's 1807 novel Corinne, which helped spread its use across Europe. Related forms include Corinne, Corinna, and Korina.
