Welsh name pronunciation?

Hi! I have always loved the look of the name Aelwyn, I know it's Welsh, but I have no idea how to pronounce it... I have guesses, but no really knowledge of the Welsh language... can anyone help me out? Thanks!!!

Welsh name pronunciation?
Aelwyn is pronounced slightly differently in the North and the South of Wales.The difference is minor though, so in the South it would be Ael...pronounced roughly (but not exactly) like 'heil' without the 'h' and wyn.. pronounced win.


Aelwyn....Eil-win. (or I'll win with the stress on the I'll)


(In N Wales it's more like 'hey ' without the 'h' and win


Aelwyn...Ey-lwin)





Elwyn is pronounced differently...El-win.
Reply:el-win
Reply:I have no idea either, but guessing from some Welsh words I DO know how to pronounce, I'd say 'EL-win.' Just a guess though!
Reply:In general;


Ae is pronounced eye or aye


Wyn is pronounced win or whin


So Aelwyn would sound like aislewhin or I'llwin
