Korinna
Meaning of Korinna
Korinna unfurls like a whispering breeze through a moonlit bamboo grove, her name rooted in ancient Greece yet touched by the ephemeral elegance of sakura petals drifting on a spring wind. Born of the Greek Κόριννα, meaning “maiden” or “little girl,” she evokes the lyric poet of Boeotia whose verses danced among the Muses on Helicon’s slopes—and, in a nod to Japanese sensibility, she carries a hint of mono no aware, the bittersweet beauty of transience. Pronounced kuh-REE-nuh, her sounds roll coolly across the tongue, as precise and deliberate as brushstrokes on rice paper. Though Korinna remains a rarer bloom in modern registers, her quiet strength summons images of lacquered fans opening to reveal hidden gardens and of twilight tea ceremonies where silence speaks more eloquently than words. In that hushed space between heartbeats, one senses a lineage of storytellers and dreamers, a legacy at once classical and subtly daring—an invitation to write new verses in the timeless script of her name.
