The meaning of Truran
Cornish: habitational name from Trewern (Madron, Cornwall). The placename is from Middle Cornish tre ‘estate, farmstead’ + personal name continuing an unrecorded Old Cornish Iouran. The name is stressed on the first syllable, and the appearance of deriving from tre + the mutated form of guern ‘marsh’ is misleading.
