History & Origin

Cordaryl reads as a blend of Cordell and Darryl, joining a strong Cor- opening to the -aryl of Darryl. Darryl traces to a Norman French surname from the place name Airelle, but Cordaryl's combination is a modern American coinage prized for sound.

Only a small cohort of boys received the name, clustered in the mid-eighties, so a Cordaryl today is around forty. As an individual coinage it never spread and is honestly read as a name of its moment rather than a lasting form.

Did you know? Cordaryl appeared briefly in the mid-nineteen-eighties, part of a creative African-American tradition of blending familiar names like Cordell and Darryl into fresh ones.
