Cornella

Cornella is a feminine name with Latin origins, derived from the Roman family name 'Cornelius,' which possibly meant 'horn' in Latin. It's a softer, feminine variation of Cornelia, which was borne by several notable women in ancient Rome. Cornella has never achieved widespread popularity, remaining a rare choice that connects to classical history without being commonplace. The name has a flowing, melodic quality with its double 'l' sound. Those named Cornella might appreciate its historical depth combined with relative uniqueness. The name suggests refinement, dignity, and a connection to classical antiquity while maintaining a gentle, feminine quality.

Pronounced kor-NEL-uh.
