What Does the Name Corryn Mean?
Corryn is an English spelling of Corinne, the French form of the Greek name Korinna. The Greek name is generally linked to korē (κόρη), meaning "maiden" or "young woman," so the established meaning is "maiden." The ancient Greek lyric poet Korinna is the best-known early bearer of the name. The French form Corinne and the English spelling Corryn carry the same root meaning; Corryn is a newer spelling rather than a separate etymology. The similar-looking masculine name Corin has a different origin and is not the source of Corryn.
Corryn Name History & Origins
The Greek name Korinna belonged to an ancient lyric poet from Tanagra in Boeotia. Her name passed into Latin as Corinna, and the French form Corinne developed from that Latin spelling. In 1807, Germaine de Staël published the novel Corinne, ou l'Italie, whose heroine is named Corinne; this is a famous literary use of the French name, but the Greek name itself is older.
English use of Corinne is documented in the 19th century. Corryn is a modern English respelling, with y replacing the i and the final e. It shares Corinne's Greek-derived meaning but has no separate history in Greek or French. The spelling is also distinct from the masculine English name Corin, which has its own background.
