Cordarro is an uncommon yet distinctive given name, believed to have originated from African American culture. It is comprised of two elements: "Corda" and "Ro". The first part, "Corda", could possibly derive from the word 'cord' which refers to a strong rope or string. Meanwhile, "Ro" might be a shortened form of several names such as Robert, Roosevelt, or Roman. Thus, Cordarro could roughly translate to "strong like a rope, ruler/wielder". However, there is no definitive etymological information available for this name. It gained some popularity in the United States during the mid-to-late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon today.
The name Cordarro experienced a peak in popularity during the late 80s with 15 births in both 1986 and 1988, and reached its highest point at 32 births in 1987. After a steady decline throughout the early to mid-90s, it saw a resurgence in recent years with 5 births each in 2010, 2012, and 2013. Overall, there have been a total of 105 births with this name since 1986.
