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.”
Lowenna
Cornish · “Derived from the Cornish word "lowena" meaning "joy" or "happiness". It is one of the most directly positive of the Cornish names, expressing pure delight in existence. The name reflects the Cornish Celtic tradition of drawing names from simple, beautiful concepts in the natural emotional world, and it has seen a revival in the 21st century alongside broader interest in Cornish language and identity.”
Kerenza

It has been used in Cornwall since the medieval period and reflects the warmth of the Cornish naming tradition.”

“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.”
