At a Glance: Name: Corinthia – Meaning: of, or belonging to, Corinth – Origin: Greek (the place name Corinth + place-forming suffix '-ia') – Gender: primarily used for girls – Pronunciation: kor-IN-thee-uh
Corinthia comes straight from the place name Corinth, with the '-ia' ending marking it as a place-derived name — so it's Greek in origin and tied to that ancient city. You may see it described elsewhere as meaning something like 'ornate,' but that part isn't backed by any source — Corinthia is simply Corinth plus a place-name suffix. If you're drawn to names with a clear geographic root, this is a straightforward one.
