Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Cornelius, as it is a Latin name.

Usage: Cornelius is a proper noun used to identify a specific individual in the New Testament. He is known as a centurion in the Roman army who resided in Caesarea. Cornelius is notable for being the first recorded Gentile convert to Christianity, as described in the Book of Acts. Cultural and Historical Background: Cornelius was a centurion, a commander of approximately one hundred soldiers in the Roman army, stationed in Caesarea, a significant city in Judea.
