Origin: Greek

Meaning: Beautiful maiden

Korine is a feminine name, complete with its unique charms and frills. Derived from the Greek term kore, it can be taken to mean “beautiful maiden.” It enjoyed its moment in the sun post the publication of the popular 1808 novel Corinne, or Italy by Madame de Stael. This led several people to believe that Corrinne is the age-old and the most appropriate spelling of this moniker. But this hasn’t stopped alternate forms from cropping up, including Corrine, Corin, Coryn, Korryn, Korin, Korinna, and Korinne. Now, whichever you go with, this name is sure to suit the little beauty you cradle in your arms. And if they grow up to be an even more beautiful person on the inside, then it’s just the icing on the cake.
