Cornie is a unique and distinctive given name of Dutch origin, derived from Cornelius. It is composed of two elements: 'corne' meaning 'horn', and 'lie' meaning 'dweller'. Thus, Cornie signifies 'dweller by the horn-shaped hill'. This name has been historically used in the Netherlands but has gained global recognition due to its unique sound and charm. It is often associated with strength, resilience, and uniqueness, much like the horn-shaped hill it denotes.
The name Cornie experienced fluctuations in popularity during the period from 1885 to 1930, with a notable spike in births in 1918 (13 births) and peaks around the six births mark in various years. The name's usage appears to have declined over time, as seen in the late 1920s and early 1930s, with fewer than six births recorded each year after 1924. Overall, Cornie was given to 172 newborns during this period.
