What is a Three Letter Name That is Welsh For "Beautiful"?

OK, so Nia is not a Welsh word. It's borrowed from Irish Niamh, which means "bright". Gwen, Gwyn, Wen and Wyn are all different forms of the Welsh word for "white" (not "flower"!). (G)wyn is the masculine form and (G)wen is the feminine.





You may be thinking of Teg, which means "fair" (in both senses of the word), although it's not very common as a name. Y Tylwyth Teg (literally "the Fair Folk") are fairies.





The ordinary Welsh word for "beautiful" is hardd (pronounced approximately harthe). Del and pert mean "pretty" and hyfryd (pronounced approximately huvrid) means "lovely", but I've never heard any of these used as a name.

It's literally "beautiful" in welsh, Wyn, is similar, but not a literal translation.
