Place name history

The name Trevadlock has its origins in the Cornish language and the best explanation of this difficult place name has been given thus. ‘tre’-'homestead' can be written as ‘trev’ before a word beginning with a vowel, so it’s ‘trev’ + ‘adlock’. ‘aidlen’ – aspen (in the singular) turns up in a word list in Old Cornish, the ‘Vocabularium Cornicum’. This would have probably been ‘aidl’ in the plural/collective. The suffix ‘-oc’, when added to a collective noun would mean ‘abounding in….’. Trev + aidl + oc = Trevadlock, ‘Homestead abounding in aspen’ fossilised in the Old Cornish form and possibly pronounced as TrevAIDlock originally. These older forms in the east of Cornwall show that the language died here around 1300. Written in revived Cornish, which is based on the language from circa 1575, it would be Trevedhlek.
