KELLYOW. See Kellio.
KELSEY. From Kilsey or Kelsey in Cubert; from kil-zeh, the dry neck of land. Kelsey is however the appellation of two parishes co. Lincoln.
KELYNACK, KALYNACK. From kelynn-eck, a place where holly-trees grow (kelin, a holly-tree). This name is rendered famous by Mary Kalynack, who, at the age of 84, walked from the Land's End to London to see the Great Exhibition, and to pay her respects personally to the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress. But see Killignock.

KENDALL. The general opinion seems to be that this family is of different origin from that of the Kendalls of Westmoreland, whose name is derived from Kirby-in-Kendale, i. e. the church dwelling (kirk-by) in Kent-dale. Hals says, "Kendall signifies to see or behold the dale or valley; otherwise Kendall or Cendall is fine linen; and Cendale may be a corruption of Pendall, i. e. the head of the valley." The name may mean the house in the valley (chy'n-dôl), or the neck of the dale (conna-dôl). Hence perhaps Kendal and Kendle.
KERAKOSSE. From car-kûs, the rocky wood.
KERGECK, KERGEEK. See Cargeege.
KERKIN. From car-gwyn, the white rock.
KERNICK. From Kernick in St. Stephen's, or Kernick in Helland; from carnick, rocky; or carn-ick, the rocky place.
