About Welsh names

Welsh names come from one of Britain's oldest living languages, and they sound like it — soft double-l's, rolling vowels, and meanings rooted in brightness, blessing, and the sea. Myth and poetry supply many of them, from the Mabinogion onward. Names like Rhys, Bronwyn, Dylan, and Carys carry a quiet lyricism that has traveled well beyond Wales.

Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
