All New Welsh Names for Girls


© Sandra Jones

I have been asked by some of my readers to update the listing of Welsh names for Boys and Girls. I have, in the course of my research located many different names. So many, in fact, I could never give them all to you.

So I thought that I would try and give you a small series of articles in which I will update as I uncover new names. Hopefully by the end of this series you will have a unique collection of names and their meanings that will inspire a name for a child.

We will start this article by focusing on Girls names.
