My name, as it's spelled, is from the book of Corinthians, or is a boys name meaning spear.
Spelled the "right" way, it means maiden.

Means "solid, enduring" in Hebrew. This was the name of a wise man in the Old Testament. After the Protestant Reformation it was occasionally used as a given name in the English-speaking world, and it became somewhat common in America due to the fame of the revolutionary Ethan Allen (1738-1789). It only became popular towards the end of the 20th century. This was the name of the main character in Edith Wharton's novel 'Ethan Frome' (1911).

THAT WAS REALLY ANNOYING Quote: MICHELLE Gender: Feminine Usage: French, English, Dutch Pronounced: mee-SHEL (French), mi-SHEL (English) [key] French feminine form of MICHEL. It has been common in the English-speaking world since the middle of the 20th century. no meaning there. followed MICHEL link. Quote: MICHEL Gender: Masculine Usage: French, German Pronounced: mee-SHEL (French), MI-khel (German) [key] French form and German diminutive of MICHAEL. Michel de Notredame, also known as Nostradamus, was the 16th-century French astrologer who made predictions about future world events. still no meaning. followed MICHAEL link. Quote: MICHAEL Gender: Masculine Usage: English, German, Czech, Biblical, Biblical Latin Pronounced: MIE-kəl (English), MI-khah-el (German) [key] From the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el) meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God. Saint Michael was one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers. The popularity of the saint led to the name being used by nine Byzantine emperors, including Michael VIII Palaeologus who restored the empire in the 13th century. It has been common in Western Europe since the Middle Ages, and in England since the 12th century. It has been borne (in various spellings) by rulers of Russia (spelled Михаил), Romania (Mihai), Poland (Michał), and Portugal (Miguel). Other more modern bearers of this name include the British chemist/physicist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and basketball player Michael Jordan (1963-). FINALLY ASDGHGHADSLJKGASDF

This name was used by the poets Boiardo and Ariosto in their 'Orlando' poems (1495 and 1532), where it belongs to Orlando's love interest. It has been used as a given name since the 18th century.
Corine: Variant of CORINNE
Corinne: French form of CORINNA
Corinna: Latinized form of the Greek name Κοριννα (Korinna), which was derived from κορη (kore) "maiden". This was the name of a Greek lyric poet of the 5th century BC. It was used by the Roman poet Ovid for the main female character in his book 'Amores'. In the modern era it has been in use since the 17th century, when it was used by Robert Herrick in his poem 'Corinna's going a-Maying'.
