PATRONYMICA

TREGONEBRIS. From tre-gûn-brâs, the dwelling by the great down or common. D. Gilbert (in Newlin) says the manor of Degembris (which looks like the same name) was one of those forfeited by Francis Tregian, Esq.

TREGONELL, TREGONNELL. See Tregonwell.

TREGONING, TREGONNING, TREGONAN. From Tregoning in Mawgan in Pyder, Tregonnen in Petherick, or Tregonnan in St. Ewe or in Manaccan; from tre-gonan, the dwelling on the downs. Pryce translates Tre-gonin, the dwelling enclosed on the common.

TREGONNING. See Tregoning.

TREGONWELL, TREGONWEL, TREGONELL, TREGONNELL, TREGUNNEL, TREGANELL. From Tregonwell, name of places in Crantock and Manaccan. Shirley says the pedigree is traced only to the latter part of the 14th century. Pollen speaks of them as having "builded many places," and possessed "many lands and manors before the Norman Conquest." The name may mean the dwelling of Gunnell or Connell; its ancient proprietor, Gunnell, is found as a surname. Tre-gûn-uhal would translate the dwelling on the high down.

TREGORS. From tre-gors, -kors, the dwelling by the gorse. Hence the local name Penkors in St. Enodor.

TREGORTHA. See Tregurtha.

TREGOSE, TREGOSSE. See Tregoz.

TREGOTHICK. See Trecothick.

TREGOTHNAN. From Tregothnan in St. Michael Penkevil, which Pryce translates the old town on the plain, or in the valley (tre-goth-nan). Tonkin renders the local name, "the old town in the valley; a name suitable to the situation of the old house, although not of the new one."
