Kordella Origin and Meaning

The name Kordella is a girl's name.

Kordella is an uncommon feminine name that appears to be a variant of Cordelia, which has roots in Celtic and Latin traditions. The name Cordelia is associated with Shakespeare's tragic heroine in 'King Lear' and carries the meaning 'daughter of the sea' or 'heart.' The distinctive spelling with a 'K' gives Kordella a more modern, unique edge while maintaining the melodic quality of the original. The name has an elegant, somewhat aristocratic feel with its flowing syllables and romantic associations. While rare in most English-speaking countries, Kordella offers parents a distinctive choice with literary connections and a feminine sound. Its uncommon nature makes it stand out while still being recognizable in relation to the more familiar Cordelia.
