Bess,
Found this for you:
Re: Cornwall

The modern English name is derived from the tribal name Cornovii and the Anglo-Saxon word wealas meaning "foreigners". Cornovii may mean "horn [i.e. peninsula] people". Wealas is also the origin of the name Wales.

Ooops sorry folks I posted on the wrong place

Bess,
Found it !!!!!
It is said that the origin of the name Liverpool may trace back to the first century AD, when there was a settlement among the banks of the River Mersey, next to a muddy creek, known as a "lifrugpool". Whether true or not, at the beginning of the 13th century, King John issued a charter to the town of "Livpul" for the development of a seaport.

Thanks Betty, another of life's mysteries bite the dust.

Teamtuna,
I clicked the search key and put in Liverpool, and origin of the name, Liverpool and History. When I did not find anything there it suggested google.

Anyway this is the site:
www.britannia.com

I try every combination I can think of when I am "searching" for something. Some times it works and other times??
Betty
