Meaning and background
The story behind Corrado
Corrado is the Italian form of Conrad. Through that name family it reaches Germanic elements associated with bravery and counsel, while the Italian form gives the name a different three-syllable rhythm. The reference also records a fourteenth-century saint from Piacenza with this name. That combination provides a specific historical account without pretending that Corrado describes a dog's courage. The doubled r and middle stress are worth hearing aloud if the owner wants to preserve the Italian sound rather than adopt an improvised English reading.
