Khiara

Korina is a feminine name with Greek origins, functioning as a variant of Corinna, which means "maiden" or "girl" from the Greek word "kore." The K-spelling gives the traditional name a more contemporary feel while maintaining its classical roots. Korina offers an appealing balance of familiarity and uniqueness—recognizable without being common. The name gained some visibility through Korina Sanchez, a prominent Filipino journalist, making it somewhat popular in the Philippines. Korina carries a melodic, feminine quality with its soft consonants and rhythmic three-syllable pronunciation (ko-REE-na). The name lends itself to the nicknames Kori or Rina.
