What is the meaning of the name Cornelie ?

The baby name Cornelie is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced kor-NEE-lee (English); kor-NAY-lee (French) — IPA: /kɔrˈniːli/ or /kɔrˈneɪli/.

Cornelie is Latin in Origin.

Cornelie is the Dutch and francophone (Cornélie) form of Cornelia, the feminine of the Roman family name Cornelius. The root likely relates to Latin cornu “horn,” though an Etruscan origin has been proposed; hence the usual meaning “horn” or “strong as a horn.” Used in the Low Countries and historically in France; also aligned with Scandinavian Kornelie.

Cornélie enjoyed 18th–19th‑century French vogue, while Cornelie/Corne(l)ie occurs commonly in Dutch records from the 1600s to early 1900s, now vintage and rare. International variants include Cornelia, Cornélie, Kornelie (Norwegian/Danish), Kornelia (Polish/Slavic), and Kornélia (Hungarian). Short forms and nicknames: Cora, Connie, Nel, Nelly, Nele, Lia, Corry. Masculine counterpart: Cornelius; related surnames and saints helped sustain usage. Today Cornelie offers a continental, antique charm with straightforward cross‑language equivalents.
