Ranks and shares: girls’ names in each year’s SSA file; share of all girls SSA recorded that year.
Is Corina a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Corina has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 129 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Corina: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Corina, and how old are they?
14,200 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 89% of the 15,925 Americans ever recorded as Corina. The median Corina alive today is 42 years old; half are between 31 and 54.
The 2020 Census counted 16,147 people named Corina (16,127 women and girls, 20 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 14,238 born in the U.S. The Census count is 13% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Corina is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Corina is most over-represented in New Mexico: since 1910 it was given 4.5 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Corina with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 120,711 babies since 1880, Corina is the third most given (13% of them). In 2025 it was given to 37 of their 392 babies (9.4%), again the third most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
Names that rose and fell in the same decades as Corina
Names whose births rose and fell across the same decades, measured on each decade’s share of births.
