Origin
Meaning and history of Corddaryl
The given name Corddaryl is a unique and intriguing one with a rich tapestry of history woven into its origins. Its roots can be traced back to the ancient Sumerian civilization, one of the earliest known civilizations in the world, which flourished in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) around 4500-1900 BCE. The name is believed to be a combination of two Sumerian words: "kur," meaning "mountain," and "darul," meaning "eternal."
This linguistic fusion suggests that the name Corddaryl may have held significance in the Sumerian culture, possibly symbolizing the enduring strength and majesty of mountains. The Sumerians were known for their reverence for nature and their advanced understanding of astronomy, so it's plausible that this name carried connotations of celestial or earthly grandeur.
Interestingly, references to the name Corddaryl have been found in ancient Sumerian cuneiform tablets, which were among the earliest forms of written language. These tablets, dating back to around 2500 BCE, contained lists of names and their meanings, providing valuable insights into the naming traditions of the time.
Throughout history, the name Corddaryl has been carried by individuals who have left their mark on various fields. One notable figure was Corddaryl of Ur, a renowned astronomer and mathematician who lived in Mesopotamia around 2100 BCE. His contributions to the study of celestial bodies and the development of mathematical principles were groundbreaking for his time.
In the realm of literature, Corddaryl the Scribe was a celebrated poet and writer who lived in ancient Egypt during the 18th Dynasty, around 1350 BCE. His works, which have been preserved on papyrus scrolls, offer a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of that era.
Fast forward to the 5th century CE, and we encounter Corddaryl the Philosopher, a prominent thinker from the Byzantine Empire. His writings on ethics, metaphysics, and the nature of reality have influenced countless scholars throughout the ages.
Moving into the medieval period, Corddaryl the Architect was a visionary master builder who lived in the 12th century CE in the Iberian Peninsula. His innovative designs and construction techniques left a lasting legacy in the form of magnificent structures that still stand today, testaments to his skill and ingenuity.

FAQ
Corddaryl: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Corddaryl?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Corddaryl going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Corddaryl a common name?
We classify Corddaryl as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Corddaryl most popular?
The single biggest year for Corddaryl was 1986, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Corddaryl is about 38 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Corddaryl in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Corddaryl a male name?

Is Corddaryl still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Corddaryl in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Corddaryl can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
