Kornelie is a Central and Northern European form of Cornelia, the feminine of the Roman family name Cornelius. Its root is usually linked to Latin cornu “horn,” though an Etruscan origin has also been proposed; modern interpretations tend to read the meaning as “horn” or “of the Cornelius clan.”

The name spread across Europe with classical revivals and appears in Czech (Kornélie) and Scandinavian usage as Kornelie, reflecting the regional preference for K over C. Historical resonance comes via Cornelia, the esteemed mother of the Gracchi in Republican Rome, and later literary and saintly references helped sustain the name. Related forms include Cornelia, Kornelia, Cornélie (French), Kornélia (Hungarian), Kornelija (Lithuanian, Croatian/Serbian), and Kornēlija (Latvian); Dutch also has Cornelie. Common short forms are Nela, Nell, Nelly, and Connie, with Slavic pet names like Nelka or Kornelka. Kornelie offers a traditional yet subtly distinctive twist on a venerable classical choice.
