Corinee Origin and Meaning

The name Corinee is a girl's name.

Corinee is an uncommon feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Corinne or Corinna. These names derive from the ancient Greek name 'Korinna,' which means 'maiden' or relates to the Greek word 'kore' for 'girl.' The double 'e' ending gives Corinee a distinctive, French-inspired flair compared to more traditional spellings. While Corinne has maintained moderate popularity throughout the 20th century, Corinee remains quite rare. The name has a delicate, feminine quality with its soft sounds and flowing rhythm. Despite its rarity, Corinee connects to the rich history of its root name, which was borne by an ancient Greek poetess and has appeared in literature through the centuries, giving this variant both cultural depth and modern uniqueness.
