About female cornish names
How female cornish names are built
A name pairs a gender-tagged given name with a surname from a 250-entry family-name pool. The male given bank holds 216 forenames and the female bank 141, both feeding the shared surname slot, giving male pulls like Cador Cornish and female pulls like Lowenna Tregear.

Cador + Cornish
male given name plus surname

Cemoyre Tresidder

Naming notes
Two templates run over three banks: male given plus surname and female given plus surname, with the surname bank shared across both. Many surnames in the pool begin with Tre- (Tregear, Tresidder), and the surname Cornish itself appears as an entry. The 250-entry surname bank is larger than either given bank, so first names recur before family names do.
Questions about female cornish names
- How is the name put together?
- A gender-tagged given name plus a surname. Males draw from a 216-entry given bank, females from a 141-entry bank, and both share a 250-entry surname pool.
- Why do many surnames begin with Tre-?
- The surname bank holds a large run of Tre- family names such as Tregear and Tresidder, so that prefix shows up often in the surname slot.
- Does the gender change the surname?
- No. The surname bank is shared, so the gender comes from which given bank fires; Cador and Cemoyre are male picks, Lowenna a female one, all against the same pool.
