- Coryn
Description:
Coryn is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Corinne, derived from the Greek name Korinna meaning 'maiden,' or possibly related to the Latin 'corona' meaning 'crown.' Some also consider it a feminine form of Corin, which has Celtic roots meaning 'spear.' Coryn has remained relatively uncommon but has seen modest usage since the late 20th century. The name has a modern, streamlined feel while maintaining connections to classical origins. Its spelling with a 'y' gives it a distinctive appearance compared to variants like Corin or Corrine. The name carries associations with nobility and strength, particularly if connected to 'crown' or 'spear' in its etymology. Coryn offers a compact, two-syllable option that feels contemporary yet substantial.
