Cordula Wöhler, later Cordula Schmid, (pseudonym Cordula Peregrina; 1845 – 1916) was a German author of Christian literature and hymns, whose "Segne du, Maria" is among the most popular Marian hymns in German-speaking countries. She had written the poem when she, the daughter of a Lutheran pastor, converted to Catholicism. Expelled from home in northern Germany, she moved to Austria and became a recognised author of Christian literature.

I find the origin of this name so interesting it’s obviously related to the name Cordelia and must have been used in various forms in ancient Roman and post Roman times. St. Cordula along with St Ursula were said to have been from Cornwall which has a strong Celtic history as the English (Anglo-Saxons) did not settle the far south west of what is now England so like in Wales its Celtic heritage remained intact. Personally I prefer the name Cordelia with the ancient and mythical queen of the Britons described by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 12th century and of course the Shakespearean Cordelia from the play King Lear. But as I said, Cordula and Cordelia are clearly the same name, Cordula is simply an early variant of Cordelia.
