Korn%c3%a9lia

Kornélia is the Hungarian and Slovak feminine form of the Latin name Cornelia, the feminine of Cornelius, itself derived from the Roman family name Cornu, meaning horn, possibly referring to a horn-shaped physical feature or symbolic strength. Cornelia, the name of the mother of the Roman reformers Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, was celebrated in antiquity as a model of Roman virtue and motherhood. The name spread through Catholic Europe partly through veneration of early Christian saints bearing the related masculine form. Variants and cognates include Cornelia, Corneille, and Kornelija.
