CORNELIUS : Dutch German Danish and southern English: from the Latin personal name Cornelius (originally an old Roman surname probably derived from cornu ‘horn’) borne by a 3rd-century pope and Christian saint.

In North America this surname may also be an altered form of the German or Dutch variant Kornelius.
