This reference work surveys the personal names of Wales, showing their
derivation and meaning, and giving for each name male or female designation,
meaning, construction, and early use.
Nearly all Welsh names can be sorted easily into one of seven groups. Those
in the first four are Welsh in origin but the remainders, although they have
acquired a distinctive Welsh form, derive from foreign sources. The groups are:
symbolical names, descriptive names, place names, invented names, Roman names,
Biblical names, and Saxon names. This, then, is an invaluable guide if your have
Welsh names in your genealogy.
