Corynn Origin and Meaning

The name Corynn is a girl's name.

Corynn is a feminine name that represents a modern spelling variation of Corinne or Carin. These names ultimately derive from the ancient Greek name Korinna, which means 'maiden' or possibly relates to the Greek word 'kore' meaning 'girl.' The distinctive double 'n' ending gives Corynn a contemporary feel while maintaining the classic sound. This spelling variant gained modest popularity in the United States primarily from the 1990s onward, appealing to parents seeking a slightly unusual spelling of a familiar name. Corynn combines traditional roots with modern styling, making it both accessible and unique. The name has a gentle yet strong quality, and its bearers often use the nickname Cory. It remains relatively uncommon but recognizable.
