Corneille

Corneille originates from the ancient French word 'corme' with possible roots in the Latin word 'corna'. The English translation of the old French word corme is 'horn'. So the meaning of Corneille is 'horn'. There are other possible meanings of the name like 'of a horn', 'a composite of horn' and 'of the Cornelii family', or 'horn player or maker'. It is the French alternative to the Latin name Cornelius. The name is also the French word for a crow. Traditionally, it is a male first name but it is also a well-known French family name. So it is used as either a given name or a surname. Famed Rwandan-Canadian singer-songwriter, Cornelius Nyungura, is known by his stage name Corneille. Other noteworthy bearers of this name are Congolese environmental activist, Corneille Ewango, English soccer player Mark Corneille, Canadian educator Marcelle Corneille, Dutch-born painter Corneille Guillaume Beverloo, and Pierre Corneille, widely known as the founding father of French tragedy.
