Cordarius
Meaning of Cordarius
Cordarius is a masculine given name of Latin derivation, composed of the morpheme cord- (“heart,” from Latin cor, cordis) and the adjectival suffix -arius, which historically signifies pertinence or affiliation, thus situating the name within a semantic field of heartfelt integrity and valor. Its onomastic profile, while marginal in the United States, demonstrates consistent albeit low-frequency use, ranging from a peak of fifty-eight occurrences (rank 711) in 1992 to a nadir of five (rank 929) in 2021, most recently registering seven birth occurrences (rank 917) in 2024, a pattern indicative of enduring, specialized adoption rather than mainstream prevalence. Phonetically rendered kor-DAY-ree-us, phonemically /kərˈdeɪriəs/ in English, the name reflects Anglo-American phonological conventions applied to its classical elements, offering parents a distinctive, technically resonant option that encapsulates both historical gravitas and emotional significance.
