<p>Cornie is a feminine name primarily used as a diminutive form of Cornelia or other Corn-root names. Derived from the Latin 'Cornelius,' a Roman family name possibly meaning 'horn,' it carries historical connections to ancient Roman nobility. The name has an old-fashioned, quaint quality that evokes rural simplicity and vintage charm. Cornie saw limited popularity in the early 20th century, particularly in rural communities and Dutch-influenced areas, but has since become quite rare. As a standalone name rather than a nickname, it has never reached mainstream usage. The name's similarity to the word 'corny' (meaning trite or sentimental) in English might contribute to its decline. Despite this, Cornie retains a warm, friendly character with nostalgic appeal for those drawn to uncommon vintage names.</p>
