Corne is Afrikaans, Dutch in Origin.

Corne is a Dutch and Afrikaans short form of Cornelis (male) or Cornelia (female), ultimately traced to the Roman family name Cornelius. The name is commonly interpreted from Latin cornu, “horn,” a symbol of strength and resilience, though many scholars note an older, possibly Etruscan origin for Cornelius itself. In Afrikaans and Dutch contexts it often appears as Corné, pronounced kor-NAY, with the accent sometimes omitted in English records.

Use of the parent form Cornelis was widespread in the Low Countries from the late Middle Ages, bolstered by the cult of Pope Saint Cornelius (3rd century). The clipped Corne/Corné rose to modern familiarity in the Netherlands and became especially popular in South Africa in the late 20th century, sometimes unisex. Related forms include Cornelius, Cornelis, Cornelia, Kornelius, Cornelio/Cornélio, Kornél, Kornel, and Corneille; nicknames and cognates include Cor, Cees/Kees, Neels/Niel, and Connie.
