The baby name Kornelia is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /kɔrˈniːliə/ (kor-NEE-lee-ə).
Kornelia is Latin in Origin.
Kornelia is the Central/Eastern European form of Cornelia, ultimately from the ancient Roman family name Cornelius. The Latin root cornu means "horn," yielding a sense of strength or heralding in many modern interpretations. The K spelling reflects Slavic and Germanic orthography, where a hard k-sound is written with K rather than C.
The name has circulated since classical times via the esteem of Cornelia Africana, mother of the Gracchi, and reappeared in modern registers across Poland, Germany, Hungary, and Scandinavia. Usage rose in Poland in the late 20th century and has enjoyed recent popularity in Norway. International variants include Cornelia (English, Dutch, German), Kornélia (Hungarian), Korneliya/Корнелия (Russian, Bulgarian), Kornelija (Lithuanian, Serbian, Croatian), and Kornēlija (Latvian). Diminutives and short forms include Nela, Nelia, Kornelka, Connie, and Nelly; related masculine forms are Cornelius and Kornel.
