KORE is the "root word" and Korinne is the French version of this ancient Greek name.
1: Cora is used mostly in English and French. Language of origin is Old Greek. Derived from the element 'kore' with the meanings maiden and virgin.
Kore is better known to us through mythology as her evolved self Persephone, Queen of the Underworld.
The Kore / Persephone Mythology is archetypal. At the core of Kore is the maiden who transforms from darkness (ignorance) to light (gnosis/wisdom).
The story of Kore / Persephone comes to us from ancient Greece. Some people have regarded this tale as nothing more than a clever device to explain the changing of the seasons. The Kore / Persephone mythology inspired the Eleusinian Mystery rites, which began about 1600 B.C. lasting nearly two thousand years.
