Where Tregunnas are most common

Historical parish links are strongest around Colan, St Anthony in Roseland, St Austell, Gorran and Swansea. These are the places where the surname stands out most clearly in the older records.

The modern local-area list points to Cornwall. Treat these as concentration signals, not proof that every family line began there.

Some modern areas include a three-digit suffix, such as Leeds 110. The suffix is a small-area code, so it stays in the table while the prose uses the plain place name.
