科尼利厄斯 is the standard five-syllable Mandarin transliteration of 'Cornelius' — a Latin name famous in Western culture from the Roman centurion in Acts 10, industrialist Cornelius Vanderbilt (
科尼利厄斯·
范德比尔特), and the orangutan-statesman in Planet of the Apes. Each character is purely phonetic; the literal meanings ('section', 'nun', 'profit', 'ouch', 'this') are not relevant.
