EnglandThe 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. [1]
The surname Cornelison was first found in Essex, where they held a family seat from the Middle Ages.
