Cornell (name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cornell is an English name derived from a shortened form of Cornwall, Cornwell or Cornhill,[1] and a Dutch Surname, which derives from the Latin Cornelius. Sometimes the name is an Americanized form of the Czech Kornel, or the German and Swedish Kornell. The name could also derive from the latin gens Cornelia, one of the most famous tribe in ancient republican Roma, to whom Publio Cornelio Scipio (the winner of Annibale - Hannibal) and other belonged. The gens Cornelia gave the highest number of consolates during the ancient Roman republic. The name survives in Italy as Corneli or Cornelli.
