Corrina
Meaning of Corrina
Corrina is a feminine appellation rooted in the ancient Greek name Korinna, itself a diminutive of korē (“maiden”), and established as a Latinized variant in classical and medieval contexts. In contemporary English usage its pronunciation typically alternates between kuh-REEN-uh and kuh-RIN-uh, reflecting American and British articulatory conventions respectively. Historically, the name figures in the oeuvre of the Boeotian lyric poet Corinna—celebrated by Pindar—and resurfaces in Anglo-American folk traditions, most notably within early twentieth-century blues and country balladry, where “Corrina” emerges as a recurring refrain, thus reinforcing the name’s enduring cultural resonance.
