Cornelia is a feminine given name. It is a feminine form of the name Cornelius [1] or Cornelis. Nel, Nele, Nelly, Corey, Cornie, Lia, or Nelia can be used as a shortened version of Cornelia. Conny, Connie, Nele, or Neele are popular German short forms used in their own right. Lia and Corrie are diminutive versions of the Dutch name.
The name is of uncertain origin. It is popularly associated with Latin cor (genitive cordis) "heart", and has also been linked with the Welsh name Creiddylad, allegedly meaning "jewel of the sea", but it may derive from the French coeur de lion "heart of a lion". [citation needed]
The name could also derive from the latin gens Cornelia, one of the most famous tribe in ancient republican Roma, to whom Publio Cornelio Scipio (the winner of Annibale - Hannibal) and other belonged. The gens Cornelia gave the highest number of consolates during the ancient Roman republic. The name survives in Italy as Corneli or Cornelli.
