Cornish Names

Perhaps you are expecting your first child and would like to give the baby a Cornish name.

Or maybe you are moving to a new house and would like to name it in Cornish.

Or perhaps you’ve just got a young puppy and want to know the Cornish equivalent of Rover.

There are a number of books available with suggestions for Cornish names for all occasions. Most bookshops in Cornwall will have a section devoted to Cornish books, and there are also specialist Cornish bookshops in Camelford and Redruth.

If you would like to browse through a list of books that are available in and about Cornish, go to the Reference Books page.

Alternatively, if you can’t find what you are looking for, the Cornish Language Partnership provides a free translation service for short translations such as names. For more details about this service, go to our Online Translation Request Service page.
