Cornelia

Cornelia is a Latin feminine given name derived from the Roman family name Cornelius, itself of uncertain ultimate origin, though some scholars connect it to the Latin word cornu, meaning horn. The name was borne most famously by Cornelia Africana, the educated and virtuous daughter of Scipio Africanus and mother of the Gracchi brothers, who became a celebrated model of Roman womanhood. The name spread widely across Europe through Roman cultural influence and remains in use today in many countries. Cornelius is the masculine counterpart, while Cornélie and Kornelia are common Romance and Germanic variants.
