*¹ <small>While it has been claimed that "Cordelia" derives from the [[Latin]] "cor" (heart) followed by "delia", an [[anagram]] of "ideal", this is questionable. A more likely etymology is that her name is a feminine form of ''coeur de lion,'' meaning "lion-hearted". Another possible source is a [[Welsh language |Welsh]] word of uncertain meaning; it may mean "jewel of the sea" or "lady of the sea".
*² <small>These titles are [[anachronistic]]. The first use of the title of ''[[Duke of Albany]]'' occurred in [[1398]]. The first use of the title of ''[[Duke of Cornwall]]'' took place about [[1140]]. The first use of the title of ''[[Earl of Gloucester]]'' took place in [[1122]].
