Meaning & origin

Corneluis is an extremely rare variant spelling of the ancient Roman name Cornelius. It first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1888, its peak year, but has never ranked in the top 1000 names. The name's trajectory has been stable, with minimal usage over the decades. Because of its rarity, there are no top states associated with it. The name carries the weight of classical Roman history and offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Cornelius.

Corneluis is a variant spelling of the ancient Roman family name Cornelius, which was borne by one of the most powerful patrician families of the Roman Republic. The name is thought to derive from the Latin word 'cornu', meaning 'horn', possibly referring to a horn-shaped object or as a symbol of strength. It has been used in Christian contexts through saints, such as Cornelius the Centurion in the New Testament.
