      Meaning of the first name Corine

      Origin

      American

      Meaning

      Maiden

      Variations

      Coline, Corina, Norine
      The name Corine has its origins in America, and it carries the meaning of Maiden. While the specific etymology remains a topic of debate, it is widely accepted that Corine emerged as a variation of the more traditional name Cora, which is derived from Greek mythology. The name Corine gained popularity in America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly among parents seeking a unique yet feminine name for their daughters.

      In terms of historical usage, the name Corine can be found in various contexts. It appeared in literature, such as the novel Cora Ravenwing by George Bryant, published in 1899, where the protagonist's full name is Corine Isabelle Ravenwing. Additionally, Corine has been seen in records of real individuals throughout history. However, it must be noted that the name Corine does not hold as prominent of a place in historical events as some other names might.

      Moving to modern-day usage, Corine continues to be a fairly popular name in America. It has maintained its appeal to parents seeking a distinct and elegant name for their daughters, while also evoking a sense of tradition. The name Corine is often chosen to honor family heritage or as a nod to classic literature. Though perhaps not as widely used as some other names, Corine still finds its place among the diverse tapestry of American names today.
