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 two specialist Cornish bookshops: Gwynn ha Du in Liskeard and Just Cornish in Penzance. Just Cornish also has an online shop – follow this link to visit the Just Cornish website.

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 Translation Service page.
