Lamb or heart
A modern American elaboration likely derived from the Latin 'cordis' meaning heart or 'cordarius' relating to a lamb. It follows the rhythmic pattern of other Romanesque names like Demetrius or Cornelius, though it does not have a direct ancient counterpart. It is often chosen for its melodic, sophisticated sound and strong presence.
