Cornac (French pronunciation: [kɔʁnak]) is a commune in the Lot department in south-western France.
The toponym Cornac describes the domain of the Gallic Cornos. This names origin could be based on the Indo-European word Cor meaning escarpment and neh Gaulish for height.[3] The ending -ac comes from the Gallic suffix -acon (itself from the common Celtic *-āko-), often Latinized as -acum in texts.[4]
