You're not cornish by any chance? Because thats a cornish (sur)name.
I certainly am, hence the username pastymuncher and not what most take it to mean.
It's 50/50 christian/surname, mainly first name in deepest darkest Cornwall where I am from (Newlyn near Penzance). Aside from the fact it's a lovely name it was also the name of the coxswain of the Solomon Browne, Trevelyan Richards. Sadly she was lost with all hands attempting to rescue the crew of the Union Star in Decemeber 1981. My dad knew everyone on board and it hit him hard. I wanted to name my first son Trevelyan partly in honour of him as he was a lovely man and I really liked the name.
