The Kernbrownek Tartan combines elements of the Cornish National Tartan (incorporating the black and white Cornish flag of St Piran, on gold) with elements of the Scottish Lamont Tartan (focussing on the sett's blue and black stripes). The Davey family in Cornwall and the designer have regularly worn the Cornish National Tartan, whilst the designer's Scottish wife and her family (surname Brown, a sept of Lamont) have traditionally worn the Lamont Tartan. The new tartan draws together these Cornish and Scottish Celtic roots. The tartan's name combines the Celtic-Cornish language word - 'Kernewek' (meaning 'Cornish') with the surname of 'Brown'. For pronunciation, the stress lies on the middle syllable. This design has been registered with the UK IPO, no.4011448. - 2008 — Kernbrownek (Personal) (tartans-authority, record)
The Kernbrownek Tartan combines elements of the Cornish National Tartan (incorporating the black and white Cornish flag of St Piran, on gold) with elements of the Scottish Lamont Tartan (focussing on the sett's blue and black stripes). My Cornish family and I (surname Davey), have regularly worn the Cornish National Tartan while my Scottish wife and her family (surname Brown, a sept of Clan Lamont) have traditionally worn the Lamont Tartan. The new tartan draws together our Cornish and Scottish Celtic roots. For the tartan's name I combined the Celtic-Cornish language word - 'Kernewek' (meaning 'Cornish') with my wife's family surname of 'Brown' and decided on 'Kernbrownek'. For pronunciation, the stress lies on the middle syllable.
