Corrin is a surname of Manx origin. It is a contraction of MacCorran or McCorryn, an anglicised form of the Gaelic MacTorin, meaning "son of Thórfinnr" (from Thórr the name of the Scandinavian thunder god + the ethnic designation Finnr).[2]
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.[1]
