feminine · English (Rare) origin
Corynn is an English feminine name functioning as a variant spelling of Corin or Corinna, which ultimately derives from the ancient Greek name Korinna, itself rooted in the word kore, meaning girl or maiden. The Greek poet Korinna of Tanagra, active in the classical or Hellenistic period, is among the earliest notable bearers of the base form. The elaborated spelling Corynn follows a modern English pattern of adding or doubling letters to create a more distinctive feminine appearance. Related forms include Corinne, Corinna, and Corin.
