Kordula is Latin in Origin.
Kordula is a Central European form of Cordula, from Late Latin Cordula, a diminutive of cor, cordis "heart," thus conveying the affectionate meaning "little heart." The name gained currency through the medieval legend of Saint Cordula, companion of Saint Ursula and one of the Cologne martyrs, which anchored it in Catholic naming traditions across the Rhineland and beyond.
Spelled with K in Germanic and several Slavic languages, Kordula has seen use in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovenia, with peaks in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries and rarer modern appearance. The classical spelling Cordula remains common in ecclesiastical and international contexts; pet forms include Kordi and Cordi, varying by language. Related names sometimes cited alongside it are Cora and Cordelia, though their etymologies differ. Kordula offers an antique yet warm choice balancing Latin heritage and Central European character.
