Etymology: Originates from the Greek name 'Korin,' derived from 'korinthos,' possibly linked to the city of Corinth, but more commonly interpreted as a variant of 'Corey' or 'Cory,' which stem from Irish and Greek roots meaning 'spear' or 'hill.' Also appears in literature, such as in Shakespeare's 'As You Like It,' where 'Corin' is a shepherd character, adding pastoral and poetic connotations.
