History and Origin
Cordelia is a feminine given name, popularly associated with Latin cor (genitive cordis) "heart". It was borne by the tragic heroine of Shakespeare's King Lear (1606), a character based on the legendary queen Cordeilla. The name is of uncertain origin as is related to the Celtic Welsh name Creiddylad, allegedly meaning 'jewel of the sea', although it may also be related to French through the Latin root for 'coeur de lion', translating as 'heart of a lion'.
English: name used by Shakespeare for King Lear's one virtuous daughter. It is not clear where he got it from; it does not seem likely to have a genuine Celtic origin. It may be a fanciful elaboration of Latin cor (genitive cordis) heart, and certainly this association has been made by many of those who have subsequently chosen it.
