Tintagel

Tintagel or Trevena ((コーンウォール語:Tre war Venydh) meaning ''village on a mountain'') is a civil parish and village situated on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The population of the parish was 1,820 people (2001 census), and the area of the parish is .〔Thomas (1993); p. 9〕 The parish population decreased to 1,727 at the 2011 census. An electoral ward also exists extending inland to Otterham. The population of this ward at the same census was 3,990.
The village and nearby Tintagel Castle are associated with the legends surrounding King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table. The village has, in recent times, become attractive to day-trippers, and tourists from many parts of the world, and is one of the most-visited places in Britain.〔Dyer (2005); p. 9〕
==Toponymy==

Toponymists have had difficulty explaining the origin of 'Tintagel': the probability is that it is Norman French as the Cornish of the 13th century would have lacked the soft 'g' ('i/j' in the earliest forms: see also Tintagel Castle). If it is Cornish then 'Dun' would mean ''Fort''. Oliver Padel proposes 'Dun' '-tagell' meaning ''narrow place'' in his book on place names.〔Padel, O. J. (1985) ''Cornish Place-name Elements''. Nottingham: English Place-Name Society ISBN 0-904889-11-4〕 There is a possible cognate in the Channel Islands named ''Tente d'Agel'', but that still leaves the question subject to doubt.〔Canner (1982), p. 97〕
The name first occurs in Geoffrey of Monmouth's ''Historia Regum Britanniae'' (c. 1136, in Latin) as ''Tintagol'', implying pronunciation with a hard () sound as in modern English ''girl''. But in Layamon's Brut (MS Cotton Otho C.xi, f. 482), in early Middle English, the name is rendered as ''Tintaieol''. The letter ''i'' in this spelling implies a soft consonant like modern English ''j''; the second part of the name would be pronounced approximately as ''-ageul'' would be in modern French.
An oft-quoted Celtic etymology in the ''Oxford Dictionary of English Place-Names'',〔Mills, A. D. (1998) ''Dictionary of English Place-Names''; 2nd ed. Oxford University Press ISBN 0-19-280074-4〕 accepts the view of Padel (1985) that the name is from Cornish
*''din'' meaning ''fort'' and
*''tagell'' meaning ''neck, throat, constriction, narrow'' (Celtic
*''dūn'', "fort" = Irish ''dún'', "fort", ''cf''. Welsh ''dinas'', "city";
*''tagell'' = Welsh ''tagell'', "gill, wattle").
