Korneliya is the Slavic and Bulgarian transliteration of Cornelia, the feminine form of the ancient Roman family name Cornelius. The name traces to the distinguished gens Cornelia, whose members included statesmen and generals; the celebrated matron Cornelia, mother of the Gracchi, exemplified Roman virtue and helped sustain the name’s prestige. Etymologically it probably relates to Latin cornu, “horn,” though some scholars view Cornelius as Etruscan in origin with an uncertain meaning. Through classical revival and Christian calendars, the form spread across Europe and entered Eastern Slavic usage.
