Family name origins & meanings

  • Italian : from corda ‘rope’, ‘string’ (Latin c(h)orda, from Greek khordē), hence a metonymic occupational name for a maker of cord or string, or a nickname for a habitual wearer of decorative ties and ribbons.
  • Italian : from a short form of a medieval Tuscan personal name, Bentaccorda, an omen name meaning ‘well granted’.
