CORDELIA. Shakespeare's
English form of Welsh Creirdyddlydd
(q.v.), meaning "token of the flowing tide" or "daughter of
the sea." Also see Cordeilla.

Cordelia Fine, an Australian academic psychologist and
writer. Cordelia Bugeja, a British actress. Cordelia Mendoza,
an American author and antiques expert. (Wiki)
... Shakespeare loved his sweet
Cordelia too well to stain her with self-murder, and, though omitting
all allusion to Christianity, made her in all her ways and actions a
true Christian, and never perhaps showed more consummate art than in
producing so perfect an effect with a person so chary of her words...
Cordelia is hereditary in some Irish families; but is
chiefly used for love of Shakespeare's heroine of filial love. (History
of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
