Krelis Origin and Meaning

The name Krelis is a boy's name of Dutch origin.

Krelis is a masculine name of Dutch origin, functioning as a diminutive form of Cornelis (the Dutch variation of Cornelius). This relatively uncommon name carries ancient Roman heritage, as Cornelius was the name of a prominent Roman clan. In the Netherlands and Dutch-speaking regions, Krelis has historically been used as a familiar form of the more formal Cornelis. Outside these areas, the name remains quite rare, giving it an exotic quality for international users. Krelis has a distinctive sound that's both strong and approachable. The name offers the appeal of ancient roots combined with an uncommon presentation, potentially attractive to parents seeking a name with historical depth but little chance of classroom duplication.
