Corrin is a surname of Manx origin. It is a contraction McCorryn, an anglicised form of the Gaelic MacTorin, meaning "son of Thórfinnr", which is derived from the Old Norse personal name meaning "Thor's Finn". The earliest form was first documented on the Isle of Man as MacThorin/MacThoryngt and later rendered as either MacCorran or McCorryn, and later reduced as Corrane and Corrin. This name first appeared in Manx Gaelic on the Isle of Man sometime pre-13th century.
