Cultural context
Corinne is a French name from the ancient Greek 'Korinna' or 'Korinna', from 'korē' meaning 'maiden'. Korinna of Tanagra was an ancient Greek lyric poet, a contemporary of Pindar. The name entered French literary culture through Germaine de Staël's novel Corinne, or Italy (1807), in which the heroine is an improvisatrice poet who becomes Italy's greatest living genius. The novel was enormously influential in the Romantic era. The name is popular in France, Belgium, and Quebec, and among Francophone communities worldwide. Corinne Bailey Rae is a famous contemporary bearer.
When to gift this phrase
