Corinne is a feminine given name of Latin origin. It comes from the Latin word "coronis," which means "maiden" or "virgin." The name Corinne was popularized by the French playwright Pierre Corneille in his tragedy "Coriolanus," published in 1640. In the play, Corinne is the wife of the Roman hero Caius Marcius Coriolanus. Although the name has roots in Latin literature and history, it has gained popularity as a given name among many cultures throughout Europe and beyond. Today, Corinne remains a timeless and elegant choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet classic name for their daughters.
The statistics regarding the name Corinne in the United States show a consistent popularity over time, with five babies being given this name each year from 1979 to 1989. This suggests that Corinne was considered a popular choice among parents during this decade.
