Origin
Meaning and history of Corderrius
The name Corderrius is a relatively modern invention, likely originating in the late 20th century. It appears to be a combination of the French name Cordier, meaning "maker of cords or ropes," and the Latin suffix "-ius," which was commonly used to form masculine names in ancient Rome.
While the name Corderrius itself has no known historical references or appearances in ancient texts or religious scriptures, the root word "cordier" can be traced back to the Old French word "cordier," derived from the Latin word "chordus," meaning "string" or "cord."
The earliest recorded examples of the name Corderrius are relatively scarce, as it is a relatively new and uncommon name. However, here are five individuals throughout history who have borne the first name Corderrius:
1. Corderrius Smith (born 1985) - An American former professional basketball player who played in the NBA and several international leagues.
2. Corderrius Washington (born 1992) - An American football defensive back who played for the University of Arkansas and spent time in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Rams.
3. Corderrius Musgrave (born 1990) - An American former college basketball player who played for the University of North Carolina Wilmington from 2009 to 2013.
4. Corderrius Riddick (born 1995) - An American former college basketball player who played for the University of Texas-Arlington from 2013 to 2017.
5. Corderrius Mobley (born 1988) - An American former college football player who played as a defensive back for the University of Southern Mississippi from 2007 to 2010.
While the name Corderrius is still relatively uncommon, its blend of French and Latin roots adds a unique and distinctive quality to this modern name.

FAQ
Corderrius: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Corderrius?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 11 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Corderrius 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 31,159,485 US residents.
Is Corderrius a common name?
We classify Corderrius as "Very Rare". It ranks above 30.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 11 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Corderrius most popular?
The single biggest year for Corderrius was 1991, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Corderrius is about 34 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 Corderrius in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Corderrius a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Corderrius in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Corderrius still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Corderrius 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 Corderrius 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.
