Cordelia is a feminine given name. It was borne by the tragic heroine of Shakespeare's ''King Lear'' (1606), a character based on the legendary queen Cordeilla. The name is of uncertain origin. It is popularly associated with Latin ''cor'' (genitive ''cordis'') "heart", and has also been linked with the Welsh name Creiddylad, allegedly meaning "jewel of the sea", but it may derive from the French ''coeur de lion'' "heart of a lion". ==People== *Cordelia Botkin, American murderer * Cordelia of Britain, legendary queen of the Britons, youngest daughter of King Leir *Cordelia Bugeja, British actress *Cordelia de Castellane,〔C de C (())〕 French designer *Cordelia Fine, British academic psychologist and writer *Cordelia Agnes Greene, 19th-century physician, philanthropist and suffragist from Upstate New York〔(Cordelia Agnes Greene )〕 *Cordelia Harvey, First Lady of Wisconsin Governor Louis Harvey, known for founding Civil War Orphans homes and advocating for war field hospital conditions *Cordelia Hawkins, eponym of the U.S. town of Cordele, Georgia *Cordelia Scaife May, philanthropist *Cordelia Mendoza, American antiquarian *Cordelia Strube, Canadian playwright and novelist *Cordelia Wilson, painter of New Mexico and American Southwest landscapes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cordelia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
