Korn%c3%a9lie

Kornélie is the Czech and Slovak feminine form of the Latin name Cornelius, derived from the Roman family name Cornelius, which is thought to be connected to the Latin word cornu, meaning horn. The name was borne famously by Cornelia, the highly educated and virtuous mother of the Roman reformers Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, making it a name long associated with maternal dignity and classical learning. Related forms include Cornelia in Latin, German, and Dutch, Corneille in French, and the masculine Cornelius and Corneliu.
