Korrine
Meaning of Korrine
Korrine constitutes a deliberate orthographic variant of the classical Greek name Korinna, itself a diminutive of Kore, “maiden,” transmitted through Latin and French into modern Anglo-American usage; its phonetic profile, rendered in standard English as kuh-REEN (/kəˈriːn/), remains consistent across regional dialects. Morphologically, the double r and terminal –ine suffix signal a contemporary preference for distinctive visual symmetry, while preserving the original name’s prosodic elegance. From a sociolinguistic perspective, Korrine exhibits a sporadic but persistent presence in the United States: data compiled by the Social Security Administration place its annual rank between 792 and 980 from 1958 through 2022, with peak occurrences in the late 1980s and a steady alignment near the 900th position in recent years. Analytically, the name’s continued albeit limited adoption reflects parental emphasis on both classical resonance and individual orthographic innovation within an Anglo-American naming paradigm.
