My Favorite Welsh Baby Girl Names!

Welsh names are my second favorites, especially for girls. Arianwyn and Tanwen are a couple of my favorites!
  1. Anwen
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "very fair, beautiful"
    • Description:

      Anwen is one of the simplest and best of the classic Welsh girls' names, more unusual than Bronwen but with the same serene feel.
  2. Arianwyn
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "woman of silver"
    • Description:

      Spelling variant of Arianwen. Note that in Welsh, the -wyn suffix is usually masculine.
  3. Bronwyn
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "white breast"
    • Description:

      One of the loveliest of the Welsh names, striking the perfect balance between being familiar and unusual. In Wales, the female spelling is always Bronwen, but Americans usually see a "y" as adding femininity.
  4. Brynna
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "hill"
    • Description:

      You say Bryn, he says Bryana -- here's a name you might agree on.
  5. Ceridwen
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "beautiful as a poem"
    • Description:

      Celtic goddess of poetry, though less-than-poetic name.
  6. Cerys
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "love"
    • Description:

      Common name in Wales that's all but unknown in the U.S. Certainly an attractive choice ripe for export. In the UK it sits at Number 330.
  7. Tanwen
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "holy fire"
    • Description:

      Tanwen is a far more singular and colorful alternative to Bronwen.
