		A man named John hailing from the village of Trevethin might become known as John de Trevethin, Trevethin eventually becoming hereditary as a surname, the ‘de’ being discarded with the passage of time.
		Naturally, the spelling of such surnames varied according to the clerk who inscribed them on documents, and over succeeding generations a name might be altered out of all recognition through a series of misspellings by those who were semi-literate.
		The Anglo-Saxon suffix “Ton” is the nearest parallel to the Cornish Celtic “Tre” and means a homestead.

	Celtic Surnames
		'By Tre, Pol, and Pen you'll know Cornish men,' says the old rhyme, and the saying is illustrated by such well-known names as Trevelyan, Trelawney, Treherne, Trevor, Polwhele, Pentreath, Pendennis, andc.
		But though these are all Celtic words, they are not originally patronymics but place-names, which from denoting at first merely residences or estates of their owners, afterwards became family names.
		Tre is the Welsh tre or tref (home, hamlet), Irish treabh (house, family, tribe), Latin tribus, English thorp; pol is the Welsh pwll, Irish poll (a hole, pit, pool); pen is the Welsh pen (a head, end, hill), and O. Irish cenn now ceann (head, headland), and also beinn (a hill, a summit).

		I had the idea that Kitto is a Cornish name, although I don't know where from...
		it doesn't conform to the usual heuristic "by Tre, Pol and Pen shall ye know all Cornishmen".
		Tre = Homestead/Village, Pol = Pool, Pen = Head, Ros = Heath, Car = Camp, Lan = Churchyard - and if you know Welsh you can see the similarities, tre = tref, pol = pwll, lan = llan, pen = pen, and ros = rhos, while car = gwer- I imagine.
