Hinehauone Coralie Cook (née Cameron; 1904 – 1993), known as Corrie Cameron, was a New Zealand printmaker and watercolorist. Her works are held at New Zealand's National Museum Te Papa and in the National Library of New Zealand. She is regarded as being one of New Zealand's least recognised printmakers of the 1930s.
Corie Bratter is the name of the protagonist in the wildly popular (at the time) 1967 Neil Simon film "Barefoot In The Park," starring Jane Fonda as the vivacious, impulsive Corie, and Robert Redford as her buttoned-down husband, Paul. As these newlyweds try to negotiate their opposite personalities, fireworks ensue.Her name is spelled Corie, not Corrie, in the play.
Corrie ten Boom was a Christian German woman who outlived the Second World War. She and her family hid Jews in their home so that they could escape torture inflicted on their religion by the Nazis.
Corrie Ten Boom, (the Christian Holocaust Survivor) and her family not only hid Jews in their own home, but ran an entire underground ring in Haarlem for hiding or smuggling Jews to safety.
My name, Corrianne, is a combination of my two grandmothers' names, one being Corrie and the other, Anne.Corrie is a fairly common Dutch name. This is the first I've heard where it is being attributed to English sources. It is possible that it originates with the Norse Kori, but English? I think not. The very use of the 'ie' on the end of the name is Dutch, indicating a diminutive, as with Corrie Ten Boom's name - Corrie being the diminutive of Cornelia.
One of the characters in John Marsden's "Tomorrow When the War Began".
