Meaning of the name קורינה

Korina is a distinctive and delicate feminine name originating from ancient Greek, derived from the word 'Kore' meaning 'young maiden' or 'virgin'. The name is also connected to the ancient Greek goddess Persephone, who was called 'Kore' as the young daughter of Demeter, goddess of agriculture and fertility. In Greek culture, the name carries connotations of purity, youth, and natural beauty. The name spread from ancient Greece to various Mediterranean cultures and reached Jewish communities living in these regions during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. In Jewish communities, Korina was adopted as a name of affection and refinement, particularly among the Jews of Greece, Turkey, and Italy. The name reflects the cultural encounter between the Jewish world and the Greco-Roman world, a period when many Jews adopted Greek names alongside traditional Hebrew names.

In Jewish tradition, the name acquired additional meaning as 'beautiful daughter' or 'beloved maiden', becoming especially popular among families who sought to blend Jewish tradition with the surrounding culture. In the modern era, Korina has returned to popularity in Israel and Jewish communities worldwide as a unique and unconventional name. It is chosen by parents seeking a name with a musical sound, deep meaning, and connection to the rich cultural history of the Jewish people. The name is particularly suitable for families with Sephardic or Mediterranean backgrounds, but it has also gained popularity among Ashkenazi communities who appreciate its uniqueness and elegance.
