History of the origin of the name Korney

Linguists claim that the name Korney has Latin roots, although the Romans had a slightly different pronunciation – Cornelius. A good example in this case would be the family name of the Roman dictator, a representative of an ancient family – Lucius Cornelius Sulla (138-78 BC). Before the revolution in our country, the name was quite common, since in the church calendar his name day is celebrated ten times. The ecclesiastical form of this name in Orthodoxy sounds like Cornelius. In this regard, it is worth mentioning the founder of the Paleostrovsky Nativity Monastery – the Valaam monk Cornelius. Legend says that Cornelius was a native of Pskov. During his wanderings, he visited many places in Pomerania until he found an island that captivated him with its beauty. Cornelius found a suitable cave, where he lived for many years. The monk wore chains that weighed more than 16 kilograms. The pilgrims revered him as a saint, and as a sign of reverent respect they put on and wore the chains of Cornelius on themselves.
