A popular book listing names with the derivation and meaning thereof is "A Handbook of Cornish Surnames" by G. Pawley White.  Many personal names, especially surnames, are also place names, as well.  First given names, at least in modern times, are generally not different from English given names.  However, many have older Cornish forms, such as Petherick = Patrick.
