Corentine is Breton, French in Origin.

Corentine is a French and Breton feminine given name, the counterpart to Corentin and associated with Saint Corentin, early medieval first bishop of Quimper (Kemper) in Cornouaille, Brittany. Through the saint’s cult it entered western French parish records and has been most at home in Brittany, with revivals in the 19th century and again in late 20th‑century France. Today it remains uncommon but recognizable in the francophone world.

Its meaning is debated: many link it to Breton korventenn (tempest, whirlwind), suggesting stormy one, while others see Celtic roots related to love or friendship (Breton kar, dear, beloved). The medieval name was Latinized as Corentinus; Corentine is the feminine French formation. Variants and related forms include Korentine (Bretonized spelling) and the masculine Corentin/Kaourintin; occasional short forms are Cora, Cory, or Coco.
