masculine · Dutch origin
Cor is a Dutch masculine given name functioning as a short form of Cornelius, which derives from the Latin family name Cornelius, itself possibly connected to the Latin word cornu, meaning horn. The name was borne by the martyr Pope Cornelius in the third century, which helped spread it throughout the Christian world. Cor remains a common everyday short form in the Netherlands alongside the variant Kees for Cornelis, the Dutch form of the name.
