Meaning & origin
Corda is a name with an air of mystery, its meaning and origins not firmly established. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1880 and saw its highest recorded usage in 1883, with a few births in the 1880s. Since then, it has become exceedingly rare, with no births recorded in recent decades, placing it firmly in the category of historical curiosities. The name's trajectory shows a stable, negligible presence, never reaching a rank on the national charts. Its top states, if any, are not significant enough to mention. Corda remains a choice for parents seeking a truly distinctive name with 19th-century charm.
Corda is a rare English name, possibly a feminine form of the surname Cord (derived from Old French corde 'rope') or a variant of Cora, the latter from Greek kore 'maiden'. It was recorded sporadically in the late 19th century, with peak usage in 1883, and has since fallen out of regular use.
