Kordula is a feminine name with Germanic origins, derived from the Latin name Cordula, which means "heart" from "cor" or "cordis." The name has historical significance as it refers to Saint Cordula, one of the companions of Saint Ursula in Christian tradition. Kordula is most commonly found in Germanic countries, particularly in regions with strong Catholic traditions. While never widely popular internationally, the name carries a certain old-world charm and distinctiveness. The spelling with a 'K' reflects Germanic orthographic traditions, distinguishing it from the Latin version. Kordula has a melodious, flowing quality with its three syllables and soft ending. Parents might choose this name for its unique character, historical depth, and meaningful connection to qualities of the heart.
