For boys, Cornish names carry a sense of windswept daring and Celtic depth. Jago (Cornish for James) and Piran (patron saint of tin miners) celebrate Cornwall’s seafaring exploits and industrial past. Each name speaks to the land’s legends and sense of community, connecting modern life to centuries of lore. A Cornish baby boy name reflects both everyday grit and the romantic mystique of the region’s rugged coastline.
