Cordilla
Cordilla Origin and Meaning
Cordilla is a feminine name with literary connections, most notably as a variant spelling of Cordelia, a character in Shakespeare's 'King Lear.' The name has Celtic origins and is thought to mean 'daughter of the sea' or 'jewel of the sea.' This variation with the double 'l' gives it a slightly more melodious, flowing quality than the original. While relatively uncommon, Cordilla carries the romantic, classical appeal of its better-known variant. The name evokes images of loyalty and sincerity, qualities embodied by Shakespeare's character who remained truthful despite consequences. Cordilla might appeal to parents drawn to literary names that aren't overly popular but still carry rich cultural associations and a distinctly feminine, elegant sound.
