Welsh Baby Names
Welsh names are built from the landscape itself — Seren means “star”, Eira “snow”, and Dylan came out of the sea in the Mabinogion. They tend to be short, singable and easy to spell, which is why Owen, Evan and Megan crossed the border generations ago and never went home. Boys’ and girls’ names together below, each with its meaning.
