Корина
Can anyone pass along information about a Saint Corina? (Корина) Could it possibly be common amongst Romanian, or Russian Orthodox Christians? This has stumped me.

In Romania, the name Corina is a frequent one, but I haven't heard of a Saint Corina. The name seems to etymologically come from Greek: "maiden".
I found this on the OCA website under November 7th.
"The Martyrs Karina and her husband Melasippus suffered during the reign of the emperor Julian the Apostate in the city of Ancyra in Phrygia in the year 363. They were lacerated by iron hooks and died under torture."
Different spelling but it's all I could find.

Which pretty much says the same thing.
Fantastic Susan Sophia! Thank you so very much - this is a great help!
Hi Elenie...thanks, I needed the Corina info for one of my sunday school students. The last name on my list is Lucas.....what do you think?

There is also a Celtic etymology (Korventenn meaning hurricane!). One possibility is that that it could be the masculine form of Corentin, st. Corentin being one of the 7 Breton saints. He is from the 5th century, and his feast is on December 5th. St. Corentin participated in the Council of Angers in 453 A.D. and he is one of the founders of the Church of Cornwall.
