Kenwyn
Kenwyn ((コーンウォール語:Keynwynn)) is a settlement and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The settlement is a suburb of the city of Truro and is situated 0.5 mi (1 km) north of the city centre.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 204 ''Truro & Falmouth'' ISBN 978-0-319-23149-4〕 It gives its name to one of three rivers that flow through the city.
==History and toponymy==
It is likely that the church of Kenwyn is very early and in fact the mother church of Truro. The original dedication is doubtfully St Keyne (Keynwen is the earliest form of the name which would be 'Keyn' and -wen' (white/blessed): by the 15th century it was assumed to be St Kenwyn (no medieval records have it with the prefix 'Saint'). Subsequently the dedication was attributed to St Cuby.〔''Cornish Church Guide'' (1925) Truro: Blackford; p. 117〕 The manor of Kenwyn was held in the 12th century by Richard de Luci after it had been confiscated by the King. Apparently the borough of Truro was established by the lord in part of the manor and this was the beginning of Truro as a town, then called Triuereu.〔Halliday, F. E. (1959) ''A History of Cornwall''. London: Duckworth; p. 112〕 In Domesday Book the manor of Kenwyn appears as Tregavran (in later usage Trehaverne). It was in the possession over many centuries of the families of Lantyan, Beville and Grenville, and Enys.〔Henderson, C. (1935) Records of the Borough of Truro before 1300, in ''Essays in Cornish History'', edited by A. L. Rowse and M. I. Henderson. Oxford: Clarendon Press; pp. 1-18〕
The earliest form of the name is Keynwen (1259), from ''keyn'' ridge and ''gwen'' white but the modern Cornish form has been interpreted as "Splendid Chief".
