Welsh Girls Names

I have many favorite name styles and one of my favorites is Welsh names. I love their beautiful pronunciations, traditional Welsh spellings, interesting meanings and overall old-fashioned feel.

Here are some of my favorite Welsh girls names:
(each name is linked so you can check out their pronunciations & history)

• Aderyn - means "bird", I love the spelling more than the sound.
• Angharad - means "more love"
• Anwen - This lovely name appropriately means "very beautiful".
• Bethan 
• Betrys 
• Bronwen / Bronwyn - I've actually met a girl with this name and it was really lovely.
• Caron - Meaning "to love", this is one of my favorites. It does sound like Karen but I love this meaning and it's lovely spelling. 
• Carys / Cerys - Meaning "love" this either my first or second favorite. It reminds me of Karis and I just love the Carys spelling! So pretty!
• Ceridwen 
• Delyth - This is probably my favorite Welsh girls name. It means "pretty" and I love the way it's pronounced. Just so lovely! 
• Dilys 
• Eirian - means "bright, beautiful"
• Eirlys - means "snowdrop"
• Eluned / Luned - I just discovered this name. It means "image, idol" but I really like the way it's pronounced, so pretty! Luned is a shorter form and it's pretty.
• Enid - I love this name even though it's one of the most common Welsh names. It means "soul" or "life".
• Glenice / Glenys - I actually really like this name, it's so pretty and I love the meaning "pure, clean, holy".
• Glynis - I think I like this name better then the similar Glenice / Glenys, it's really pretty! I love the meaning "valley" too.
• Gwenda - I first heard this name in a Miss Marple story and I just loved it. It means "white, fair, blessed" and think it's really pretty.
• Gwendolen / Gwendoline / Gwendolyn - I've always loved this name and it's variants. So pretty and regal sounding!
• Gwyneth - As much as I like Gwendolyn I like this name more and the nickname Gwyn. Lovely!
• Lewella / Llewella - I like this feminine version of Llewellyn.
• Mairwen - so pretty!
• Meredith - This is quite popular right now but I really like it.
• Morgan - Another common Welsh name but it's nice. I also like it for a boy.
• Morwen / Morwenna - I like it's meaning "maiden", and especially the beautiful sound of Morwenna! 
• Myfanwy - This one meaning "my woman" or "my love" is so sweet. I know a family who have a daughter named Myffwyn which is similar and I like that too.
• Owena - I love the name Owen and this is kind of nice as a feminine form.
• Rhiannon - I like the spelling and the meaning "great queen", I just wish it was easier to say!
• Rhonwen 
• Rhosyn - I love name meaning "rose", so pretty!
• Seren - I love that this name means "star", it's so lovely! 
• Siwan - I've just recently started liking this one. It's so pretty! 
• Winifred
