    Cordelia

    Pronounced kor-DEE-lee-ah

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Cordelia does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Heart; Daughter of the sea", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Cordelia.
    Meaning
    "Heart; Daughter of the sea"
    Origin
    Latin/Celtic

    Cordelia is associated with the Latin 'cor,' meaning 'heart.' In Scripture, the heart is the center of a person's spiritual life — the place where God examines intentions and plants His word. A name meaning 'heart' speaks to the deepest part of our relationship with God.

    Spiritual meaning

    Cordelia calls us to guard our hearts with diligence, recognizing that the heart is the wellspring of our spiritual life.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
