Mithian

With other Cornish names like Elowen and Jago catching people's attention, the mythical sounding Mithian might prove an unexpected and magical feeling choice. Traditionally called Mydhyan, Mithian is a village in Cornwall that sits between St Agnes and Perranporth.

While the exact meaning is unknown, one theory suggests Mithian could be a derivative of the Welsh midd, associating it with a pit or pool in a river, though it could also come from the Old English mydhen meaning "maiden", or from mith, relating to mystical creatures, magic, and legend.

Used for the name of a Princess in the BBC series, Merlin, it feels gentle, mystical, and strong at the same time.

Pronounced MITH-ee-uhn.
