History & Origin

Cordarro is an African-American coinage that elaborates Cordaro with a doubled 'r', in the family of Cordell and Cordero. Rolling, invented boys' names of this shape were a lively part of later-twentieth-century naming; its meaning is its sound rather than a traceable root.

It was always very rare, given to only a couple of dozen boys a year at a faint high point around 1987, with a short thin run. It reads clearly as a confident coinage of its era.

Did you know? The 'Cor-' names - Cordarro, Cordell, Cordero - all brush against the Spanish 'cordero', 'lamb', lending this bold coinage a soft, unexpected undertone.
