About Cornish names
Cornish names belong to the Brittonic Celtic family alongside Welsh and Breton. Active use waned by the 18th century but has been revived since.
Cornish names often describe natural features (Jennifer - fair phantom, Tristan - tumult) and frequently match Welsh cognates with different spellings.
