Anyone have any good 'Welsh' names??

I can't have 'Haf' (which means summer) or 'Llewellyn', both are already in my family.

Anyone have any good 'Welsh' names??
omigoodness, im OBSESSED with welsh names!!





Faolan is definitely my favorite for a boy, and I like it with Klaus as a middle name. I also like Ellis, Ieuan, Rhys, and Trevor.





Blodwyn is definitely my favorite for a girl, and I like it with Audra as a middle name. I also like Aeronwen, Bronwen, Brynn, Enid, Morwyn/Morwenna, Rhonwen, Tegan, and Wynne.

Why cant English people pronounce Welsh names/place names properly?

Pure ignorance!


Fe godwn ni eto Lloegr!Dydy ni ddim yn eich cadwynau ddim rhagor,fe godwn ni eto!


Cymru am byth!

Why cant English people pronounce Welsh names/place names properly?
It is hard for anyone from another country to pronounce another countries words...not just English and the Welsh...each has their own sounds that they are not use to using in every day language and the accents put on words may be very different. I am from the Southern USA and I go to Greece every year to visit. Over there it is very difficult for me to say the words with a "R" in them for we in the south are not use to rolling our "Rs" like they do.


But you know what? They are just happy that I try to learn their language...maybe you should learn something from them?
Reply:Because Welsh is impossible to pronounce. It makes Kikuyu seem like baby talk.
Reply:Hon, once I master at least two languages spoken by significant numbers of people, and get through the other items on my "to do" list, I'll work on it.
Reply:I know Wales is totally boring but please stop asking the same question try very hard to get your two Welsh brain cells to connect and think of another more interesting one, or just shut up. Capice???
Reply:because we do not speak the language or see the need to learn. it is not spoken by enough people to make it necessary to learn it.





too many other issues and priorities in the world to think about that.
Reply:didn't know wales had parrots or did you just forget you asked this like 20 times?


whats the matter? are you bored? is your girlfriend away been sheared?
Reply:Ok

Thanks for wasing our time :) You obviously are bored. Mind translating that crap into English?


Why are all Welsh names French?

Roberts, Williams, Davies, Jones... they're all French

Why are all Welsh names French?
They are not French, but there is a hint of truth in what you say, as surnames were imposed on the Welsh by the Norman conquerers. Previously they would simply have their first name and be known as "ap" or "son of" their father. Rhys ap Iorwerth, for example. The Normans would not be able to get their tongue round a name such as Iorwerth, so would have bestowed the name "Edwards" on such a man. Similarly Huw ap Ioan would have ended up as Huw Jones, and so on. Clearly the names the Normans favoured were good Norman French type names.

Reply:Well, you aren't even close to spelling the Welch names properly, so making a connection with French is difficult. Welch is a Celtic language and the Celts were pushed around by the invasion and events around 1066 when French became the language of the court, so making a connection might be a bit difficult.
Reply:i dont think so after all they don't even sound french not even spelt the same way as french stuff , i think you'll find that the first names are not french


they must just be similar


what about gruffudd thats not french!


neither is llwelyn
Reply:What about Finney? Does it at all sound French to you? Because I'm pretty sure that's a Welsh name.....Finney.....
Reply:They are all english or welsh.


Those names are english, roberts is only french if you say rowbear.


welsh names have alot of w's, l's and y's all jumbled up to make a word that sounds odd to english speakers.

good luck.
Reply:Then go and google for them.
Reply:Go get a baby name book or do an internet search.
Reply:Addison:


If you want Irish names and their meaning, the last place you should look is babynames.com.





At least half of the meanings given above are totally ludicrous and have no connection with the real meanings, e.g. "Brennan" does not mean Prince - especially when there were no equivalents of a "prince" in Irish aristocracy (the heditary system under Brehon Law was completely different from the feudal system).


Conner = "Wolf lover"???


Cormac = "Destroying son"????





Other names listed were never used in Ireland until invented by "Irish" americans.


Devin = "Descendant of the dark-haired One"???? ROFLOL





Lastly, "Shannon" is the name of a river. It doesn't mean "Old" and the person who invented this meaning probably guessed it from another word "sean" which means old but has nothing to do with the river Shannon.

My son's name is EUAN can anyone tell me whether it is scottish or Welsh???

the name is scottish with an anglicized spelling it is a variant of eoghan which is both irish and scottish celtic it is sometimes used as the gaelic form of eugene.


hope that helps............euan is a scottish name tho and has been used for many many years even with that spelling

My son's name is EUAN can anyone tell me whether it is scottish or Welsh???
Scottish. That's my Scottish Grandpa's name.
Reply:scottish
Reply:The spelling EUAN is EXCLUSIVE, however EWAN is GAELIC..
Reply:I live in Scotland and work in a Primary school - it's a very popular name up here but more commonly spellt Ewan, only a few spellt Euan.
Reply:According to one website: thinkbabynames.com, it's Irish, but others say it's Scottish Gaelic, possibly meaning Born of the Yew tree, a variant of Ewan.


The Welsh equivalent is Iwan.
Reply:Hi, It's Scottish, it can be spelt three ways:





Ewan, Ewen, Euan.





It's from the Anglicizations of Eoghan,
Reply:This may be a Scottish name - but this particular spelling seems to be Irish.
Reply:Scottish
Reply:I found this on BABY NAMES WORLD....hope it of some help





Gender: Boy


Meaning: Born from the yew tree; youth


Origin: Gaelic


Categories: Irish


Pronunciation: (YOO un)


Form of: Eoghan


Variants: N/A
Reply:A good old-fashioned Scottish name.


Although the spekking is usually Ewan or Ewen.
Reply:I think it's gay.
Reply:Sounds, - and LOOKS, - like it is of SCOTTISH origin! It's all to do, with PRONUNCIATION! Tony Blair's eldest SON, is called "EUAN", - and, remember, Tony Blair was BORN in SCOTLAND!
Reply:I rather think it is Welsh, but I am not sure.
Reply:It isn't Scottish. I know because I am Scottish, come from an entirerly Scottish family, and have some extensive knowledge on Scottish history. Perhaps you should do a name search on any one of the numerous name sites on the web.
Reply:"Euan" sounds as if it is Welsh. "Ian" could be Scots, though I don't know if both words mean the same thing.
Reply:I think it may be Welsh. Think the Scottish spelling is 'Ewan'.
Reply:i thought it was irish! but il say scottish
Reply:Scottish. I think the Welsh way is spelled Ewan.
Reply:Depends, where did you find him?
Reply:Not sure but we have lots of them in Wales.
Reply:I dunno. Where are you from?
Reply:The boy's name Euan is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "little swift one."
Reply:I think it depends on the spelling. Euan is welsh and Ewan is Scottish (i think!) I have the same thing with my sons name Finn one way is Scottish and another is Irish and there are Finns in both Irish and Scottish folklore.

Vaughen which means "little"





Euan is a popular choice pronounced "You-an" but it isn't actually Welsh. It's actually the scottish form of Eoghan ('Oh-an').
Reply:Ieuan - though I'm not sure I recommend it, it's my cousin's name, we're a Welsh family, and I still have to think about how to spell it with all those vowels! It's pronounced "yoy-an".
