A man who is from Cornwall, a region in southwestern England known for its unique culture, language, and history.
From 'Cornish' (relating to Cornwall) plus 'man'. Cornwall derives its name from Old English 'Cornwaelum,' meaning 'Cornish foreigners,' and the regional identity has been maintained since Anglo-Saxon times.
Cornishmen historically had their own language (Cornish) that died out by the 1700s but was revived in the 20th century—making them one of the few European peoples who brought a language back from complete extinction!
Generic masculine term for residents of Cornwall. 'Man' was historically default for all humans regardless of gender, reflecting assumption that male represents universal.
Use 'Cornish person', 'Cornish resident', or 'Cornishman or Cornishwoman' when gender of individual is unknown or irrelevant.
["Cornish person","Cornish resident","Cornish inhabitant"]
