Demelza: translation

Demelza f

Modern Cornish name that has no history as a Celtic personal name but derives from a place in the parish of St Columb Major. The given name began to be used in the 1950s and was given a boost by the serialization on British television of the ‘Poldark’ novels by Winston Gráham, in which it is the name of the heroine.
