History & Etymology
The name Cornaline is derived from the Latin word 'cornus', meaning 'horn', which refers to the horn-like shape of the cornelian cherry fruit.

As a given name, Cornaline is rare and directly references the gemstone.
Its usage as a personal name is relatively modern and uncommon, often chosen for its unique sound and the beauty associated with the gemstone. It doesn't have a long history of traditional use as a first name in any particular culture, but rather emerges as a creative choice inspired by the natural world.
