Cornish Names
Cornwall is the peninsula on southwest part of Great Britain. It has it's own distinct names, with older ones being from Old Welsh.
The Cornish names here are ones from roughly the 9th century to Early Modern period.
Some Cornish used names of a parent for their Byname, adding -o or -ow. Others used a place name and in later centuries hereditary surnames emerged.
A mix of Bynames and Surnames is given here alongside Cornish place names.
For more names there is an Fantasy British Character Names generator at Chaos Gen. There is a pdf of these and more tables on Drive Thru RPG as British Fantasy Names.
