Korinthia

Korinthia is the Greek form of Corinthia, a name derived from the ancient city-state of Corinth.

The name originates from the Greek Κορινθία (Korinthia), meaning "woman from Corinth." Corinth was a major city in ancient Greece, known for its wealth, commerce, and strategic location on the isthmus connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece. The city was also associated with the cult of Aphrodite, who had a prominent temple there.

In modern context, Korinthia is also the name of a regional unit in Greece, encompassing the area around Corinth. However, as a personal name, it remains relatively rare, used mostly in reference to the ancient heritage of Corinth. The name is linguistically linked to Korinthos, the Greek name for the city of Corinth.
