Corinn is of Hebrew origin and means "song" or "lyric". It's a variant spelling of Corinne, which itself is derived from the Latin word 'corona', meaning crown or wreath. This name was first popularized in France during the 18th century due to the character Corinne in a novel by Madame de Staël. Today, it's still a unique and elegant choice for parents looking for something distinctive yet timeless for their daughter.
The name Corinn experienced varied popularity over the past century, with a significant spike in usage between 1976 and 1984, reaching its peak in 1978 with 31 births that year. However, it has since declined and is now quite rare, with fewer than 10 births per year from 2005 onwards, including only 5 births in the most recent data available (2019). Overall, there have been a total of 643 births named Corinn recorded between 1950 and 2019.
