Meaning & origin
Cordera is a rare and modern name that first appeared in U.S. data in 1986, with its peak year in 1987. Its trajectory over the decades has been stable, meaning it never experienced a significant rise or fall in usage. The name has no recorded top states and is so uncommon that the one-in-N statistic is not available. While its meaning is uncertain, it may be linked to the Spanish word 'cordero', meaning lamb, or could be a creative spin on the surname Cordero. Given its recent coinage and minimal use, Cordera remains a distinctive choice with little historical precedent.
Cordera is likely a feminine form of the Spanish surname Cordero, which means 'lamb' and derives from the Latin 'cordarius'. Alternatively, it may be a modern coinage inspired by similar-sounding names. It first appeared in U.S. records in the mid-1980s, suggesting a contemporary origin rather than deep historical roots.
