Korneliy is Latin in Origin.
Korneliy is the East Slavic form of the Roman family name Cornelius, filtered into Russian and Ukrainian through Church Slavonic and Greek Kornelios. The meaning is usually linked to Latin cornu “horn,” though an Etruscan root is also proposed. The name spread in Christian calendars via Pope St. Cornelius (3rd century) and the New Testament centurion, and has remained rare in the Slavic world, carrying a scholarly, old-fashioned character.
