Related names
Elowen
Cornish · “Derived from the Cornish word "elowen" meaning "elm tree". The elm was associated in Celtic mythology with strength, endurance, and connectivity between worlds, as its roots run as deep as its branches reach high. Elowen is one of the most recognisable distinctly Cornish names, reflecting the Brythonic linguistic heritage that Cornish shares with Welsh and Breton.”
Demelza
Cornish · “A Cornish place-name turned given name, of disputed origin. One theory derives it from Cornish "dy" (house, fort) and "Maeldaf" (a Welsh personal name), giving "Maeldaf's fort". Another proposes a connection to "ty" (house) and "mels" (eel), suggesting "eel house". The name was popularised globally through Winston Graham's Poldark novels, in which Demelza is a spirited miner's daughter who rises to marry a Cornish landowner.”
Morwenna
Cornish · “Derived from the Old Welsh or Cornish elements, probably from "mor" meaning "sea" or "maiden" combined with a suffix suggesting "woman" — giving the meaning "maiden" or "sea maiden". An early Cornish saint named Morwenna gave her name to the parish of Morwenstow in north Cornwall, and she is also venerated in Wales. The name has been used continuously in the Celtic west since the medieval period.”
Kerenza
Cornish · “Derived from the Cornish word "kerenz" meaning "love" or "affection", from a Brythonic Celtic root related to the Welsh "cariad" (love). Kerenza is one of the most directly affectionate of Cornish names, expressing the bond between people. It has been used in Cornwall since the medieval period and reflects the warmth of the Cornish naming tradition.”
Senara
Cornish · “The name of a Cornish saint, probably of Breton origin, patron of the church at Zennor in west Cornwall. The etymology is uncertain, possibly from a Brythonic root. Saint Senara is associated with a famous legend about a mermaid who attended services at Zennor church — the Mermaid of Zennor — making the name one of the most evocatively mythological in the Cornish tradition.”

Jago
“Cornish form of James or Jacob, derived through the Cornish language from the same Latin-Greek-Hebrew source as James: "Jacomus" from "Iacobus" from the Hebrew "Ya'aqov" meaning "supplanter" or "one who follows at the heel". Jago is a distinctively Cornish name that gives this ancient biblical name a fresh Celtic identity rooted in the Cornish language tradition.”
Piran
“Derived from the Cornish form of the Latin "Piranus", itself possibly from the Greek "pyrrhos" meaning "flame-coloured" or "fire-red". Saint Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall, a legendary Irish missionary who, according to tradition, crossed the sea from Ireland to Cornwall on a millstone. He is associated with the discovery of tin smelting and appears on the Cornish flag — a white cross on black, representing his discovery that tin ran silver-white from the black ore in his fire.”
