About Cornwall
Cornwall is a county within the United Kingdom. Prince William, by virtue of being heir to the throne, holds the title Duke of Cornwall, and his wife Catherine is the Duchess. The "Duchy of Cornwall" is a crown body that owns land in Cornwall, Devon and other parts of the UK. The modern English name of the county is thought to come from its old Celtic name,Kernou, meaning "the Horn", referring to its shape. The Celtic name was Latinised toCornoviaorCornubia. When the Saxons gave the name ofWealas(foreigners) to the Britons, they singled out those who lived in Kernou or Cornubia by the name of Cornu-wealas; their country was thus calledCornuwallor Cornwall. Cornwall is calledKernowin Cornish, a Celtic language related to Welsh and Breton. Many street signs are both in Cornish and English. O
