Kord

Kord is a masculine name with Germanic origins, likely derived from Conrad, which combines the elements 'kuoni' meaning 'brave' and 'rad' meaning 'counsel' or 'advice.' This gives Kord the meaning of 'brave advisor' or 'bold counselor.' The name has a strong, concise quality with its single syllable and firm consonant sounds. While uncommon in most English-speaking countries, Kord has seen modest usage in Germanic regions and occasionally appears in the United States as parents seek distinctive alternatives to more common names. Its brevity makes it practical yet distinctive, and its historical roots give it substance despite its contemporary feel.

As of October 2026, Kord ranked #10245 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2714 in 1966.
