What do the Cornish words Pedn-Olva mean?

The Cornish words "Pedn-Olva" are most likely a misspelling of "Pedn Olva" which means "the headland of the elm" in Cornish.

Here's a breakdown of the meaning:

* Pedn: This is the Cornish word for "headland" or "promontory".

* Olva: This is the Cornish word for "elm" (tree).

Therefore, "Pedn Olva" would refer to a headland or promontory where elm trees are or were present.

It's worth noting:

* There might be a specific place in Cornwall that has this name, but without further context, it's difficult to determine if it's referring to a specific location.

* There are many variations and dialects in Cornish, so there might be slight variations in spelling or pronunciation.
