Name Meaning
From an old Roman family name, Cornélius, which is of uncertain origin, possibly a derivative of Latin cornu ‘horn’. This was the name of a 3rd-century pope who is venerated as a saint. The name was particularly popular in the Low Countries, and immigrants contributed to its frequency in the north of England from the 1400s. However, it is now seldom used in Britain.
