Reply to: Cunrod/Conrad & Cornelius 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).
