What does the name Tripconey mean?

The name Tripconey is thought to have been derived from "tre-conna, the town on the neck (of land); or from tre-kynin, the rabbit dwelling. " 1

Early Origins of the Tripconey family

The surname Tripconey was first found in Cornwall at what is known as Trekenning, in St Columb Major. At one time, this place was known as Tripcony. 2

"The name of Tripcony was well represented at Polspriden and Porthallow in St. Kevern parish a century ago, and it is still established in the parish. In the 16th century a family of gentry of this name had possession of the manor of Laneseley in Gulval." 3
