Cordella is English in Origin.
Cordella is a rare feminine given name in English, used both as an alternative spelling of Cordelia and as a feminized form of the surname Cordell. From Cordell (Anglo-Norman French cordel, “little rope”), it carries the occupational sense “rope maker” or the literal “little cord.” As a Cordelia variant, its roots are debated: some link it to Latin cor/cordis “heart,” while others connect it to the Welsh mythic name Creiddylad; the origin is uncertain.
Cordella appears intermittently in British and American records from the 17th to 19th centuries and remains uncommon today. Related forms include Cordelia (English), Cordélia (French/Portuguese), and Kordelia (several Slavic languages); Cordell persists as a surname and unisex given name. Short forms include Cora, Delia, Della, Dell, and Cordie.
Cordella is rarely chosen. In all, it turns up just 55 times, across 6 countries.
