Corrin Origin and Meaning

The name Corrin is a boy's name.

Corrin is a unisex name with Celtic roots, though more commonly used for males. It derives from the Gaelic 'coire' meaning 'cauldron' or 'hollow,' potentially referring to a round valley. Alternatively, it may be an anglicized form of the Irish name Cuirín, meaning 'spear.' Some consider it a variant of Corin, which has associations with Shakespeare's 'As You Like It' and derives from the Greek name Korinna, meaning 'maiden.' The name gained modest recognition through video game character Corrin from Nintendo's Fire Emblem series. Its similarity to common names like Corey, Colin, and Cora gives it familiarity despite its relative rarity. The doubled 'r' gives Corrin a distinctive visual quality while maintaining a soft, approachable sound. While never achieving mainstream popularity, Corrin represents a balanced choice combining traditional roots with contemporary appeal.
