Etymology
The name Tulketh is of Cumbric origin. The first element is tul meaning "hollow, hole, cave", while the second, -cę:d, means "woodland, forest" (corresponding to Welsh Script error: No such module "Lang".). A common compound-formation in Welsh and Cornish toponymy, the name implies an appellative meaning of "broken woodland".[3][4][5]Template:Rp
