No. "Cornish" is not a Cornish name: what would be the point of callig
someone Cornish if everyone around is Cornish. The name is much more
common in Devon, just as "Devenish" is more common in Somerset than it
is in Devon.

 I used to know María Teresa Miras Portugal (until she died): she was
Spanish, not Portuguese.

 Actress Cécile de France is Belgian.

Indeed. I didn't think of her, but I knew she was Belgian.
