What Does the Name Corrado Mean?
Corrado is an Italian name meaning "bold counsel," from the Germanic elements kuoni (bold, brave) and rāt (counsel, advice). It is the Italian form of the Germanic name Kuonrat, known in German as Konrad and in English and French as Conrad; the Italian form keeps the same two elements but gives them an Italian spelling and ending. The literal sense of the parts is "bold counsel," and that is the customary meaning rather than a later symbolic reading. A competing explanation derives the first element from a word for "kin, family" (kunja), giving "family counsel," but the "bold" derivation is the one usually given, and the question is not fully settled.
Corrado Name History & Origins
Corrado entered Italian through the Germanic names carried into the peninsula by Lombard settlement and, later, by the medieval German emperors and their followers, who used Kuonrat and Konrad. Over time the Italian form stabilized as Corrado, with the characteristic Italian ending and doubled r. It appears in Italian records from the Middle Ages and was borne by rulers connected with Italy: Conrad IV, king of Germany and of Sicily, is called Corrado in Italian sources, and the young Conradin, his heir, is known as Corradino.
The name also has a religious association in Italy through Corrado Confalonieri, a fourteenth-century nobleman from Piacenza who became a Franciscan hermit and is venerated as San Corrado. In modern times Corrado has remained a familiar Italian given name and also exists as an Italian surname; it is found among Italian communities abroad as well as in Italy.
