Multiple Origins for the Surname Cornelison
The name Cornelison was spawned by the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture that ruled a majority of Britain. It comes from Cornelius, a given name that came to England in the 15th or 16th century from Holland or Belgium. The names Cornelius and Cornelia were popular in the Low Countries because the relics of St. Cornelius, a Pope from the third century, were kept at the Chapter of Rosnay, in Flanders. The surname Cornelison was first found in Essex, where they held a family seat from the Middle Ages.

Cornelison Spelling Variations
Cornelison has been spelled many different ways. Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Many variations of the name Cornelison have been found, including Cornelius, Cornelis, Cornellis, Cornelys and others.

In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Cornelisons to arrive on North American shores: Cornelison Settlers in United States in the 17th Century- Comely Cornelison, who landed in Virginia in 1655 [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
