ReneCornwall's Lizard Peninsula is named after the village of Lizard, which is the most southern point of mainland Great Britain. The name is believed to come from the Cornish word "lysardh," meaning "high court." The peninsula is shaped like a lizard's head and tail on the map, which likely contributed to the name.
