A female given name of Greek origin, historically associated with poetry and classical literature.
From Greek 'Korinna' (Κόριννα), derived from 'kore' (maiden, girl). Famous from the ancient Greek poet Corinna of Thebes (5th century BCE) and used in poetry since antiquity.
Corinna of Thebes was one of the few female poets celebrated in ancient Greece, and her name became so iconic that it was used symbolically for centuries afterward—she represents the rare women whose talents were so undeniable that history had to record them.
