Lostwithiel

Lostwithiel (; (コーンウォール語:Lostwydhyel)) is a civil parish and small town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom at the head of the estuary of the River Fowey. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 2,739, increasing to 2,899 at the 2011 census.〔(Neighbourhood Statistics )〕 The Lostwithiel electoral ward had a population of 4,639 at the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2011 Ward census )〕 The name Lostwithiel comes from the Cornish "lostwydhyel" which means "tail of a wooded area".〔Weatherhill, Craig (2009) ''A Concise Dictionary of Cornish Place-Names''. Westport, Mayo: Evertype〕
==Origin of the name==
The origin of the name Lostwithiel is a subject much debated. In the 16th century it was thought that the name came from the Roman name ''Uzella'', translated as ''Les Uchel'' in Cornish. In the 17th century popular opinion was that the name came from a translation of ''Lost'' (a tail) and ''Withiel'' (a lion), the lion in question being the lord who lived in the castle.
Current thinking is that the name comes from the Old Cornish ''Lost Gwydhyel'' meaning "tail-end of the woodland". The view from Restormel Castle looking towards the town shows how this may have come to be.
