It’s about the beautiful and extremely original name Kordelia. This name comes from Latin. More precisely, from the word “cordulum”, which means “heart”. Although it may be associated with the equally original, although more often given in Poland, name Kornelia, it is actually closer to the name Kordula. This name also comes from Latin. It comes from the Latin nickname “Cordulus/ula”, which consists of two words: cor, cordis (meaning “heart”) and the diminutive suffix “-ula”.
Is there any Cordelia among famous people? Of course. For example, Cordelia Williams, a renowned pianist of Polish-Welsh-English origins. There is also Cordelia Wright – a British actress whom you may recognize from the youth film “Kids” from 2020. Literature lovers may also know a certain Cordelia – the writer Cordelia Frost.
This is one of the rarest names in Poland. Means “heart”
In Poland, this name is one of the least frequently given. According to Interia.pl, according to current estimates, only 18 Polish women currently wear them. Although this may soon change completely, as interest in this unique name slowly increases from year to year.
For example, in 2017, two newborn Polish women were named Kordelia, just like a year later. In 2019, not a single girl was named this way, and in 2020 – neither. According to reports on the government website Dane.gov.pl, two girls received them in 2021. It was the same in 2022. So far, in 2023, two Cordelias have already been born. Holders of this original name celebrate their name day on October 22.
