From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Trewinnard.' 'An estate in the parish of St. Erth, Cornwall The earliest recorded ancestor seems to be William de Trewinnard, a knight of the shire, 28 Edward III': Lower, quoting Gilbert's Cornwall.
An estate in the parish of St. Erth, co. Cornwall. The earliest recorded ancestor seems to be William de Trewinnard, a knight of the shire, 28. Edward III. C. S. Gilbert's Cornwall.
From Trewinord in St. Earth, where the family flourished for many generations down to the latter end of the reign of Hen. VIII. Hals says the place was taxed in Domesday by the name of Trewinerden, i.e. the high, haughty, beloved town, alias Trewinar, i.e. the town of the beloved lake or river of water on which the lands are situate, viz. the Hayle river. Tonkin, with more reason, renders the name, "the town or dwelling on a marsh" (winnick, a marsh). Tre-win-ard would signify the dwelling on the high marsh.
