ArchivesRe: Cunrod/Conrad & Cornelius
in reply to a message by Ray Gryder, II
Hiya Ray,
I seriously doubt there's any connection between "Conrad" and Cornelius".
Cornelius is an ancient Roman name that may derive from word-elements of "horn" (corne-) or "sun" (-elius < helios). Thus sayeth our webmaster.
Conrad is simply an Anglicized spelling of the Old German name Konrad, which means "bold counsellor" ("kuehner Ratgeber", in German).
