Mawrth
Mawrth Origin and Meaning
Mawrth is a masculine name with Welsh origins, representing the Welsh word for the planet Mars and also for Tuesday (the day of Mars). The name derives from the Roman god of war, Mars, adapted through Celtic language evolution. Extremely rare as a given name, Mawrth has significance in astronomy and Welsh cultural contexts. Interestingly, 'Mawrth Vallis' is a valley on Mars that has been studied for potential signs of past water. The name offers a distinctive option for parents with Welsh heritage or interests in Celtic languages, astronomy, or mythology, though its unusual pronunciation (similar to 'month' but with an 'r') might present challenges outside Wales.
