Meaning and history
Corinna is the Latinized form of the Greek name Κόριννα (Korinna), derived from κόρη (kore), meaning “maiden.” It was borne by a Greek lyric poet of the 5th century BC, and the Roman poet Ovid later used it for the main female character in his Amores. In modern use, the name has been attested since the 17th century, when Robert Herrick used it in his poem Corinna's going a-Maying.
Corinna moved from #955 to #999 for girls between 1978 and 1988. Its highest annual birth count came in 1970, with 225 births.
