Welsh names are my second favorites, especially for girls. Arianwyn and Tanwen are a couple of my favorites!
- Anwen
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"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.
- Arianwyn
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"woman of silver"Description:
Spelling variant of Arianwen. Note that in Welsh, the -wyn suffix is usually masculine.
- Bronwyn
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"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.
- Brynna
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"hill"Description:
You say Bryn, he says Bryana -- here's a name you might agree on.
- Ceridwen
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"beautiful as a poem"Description:
Celtic goddess of poetry, though less-than-poetic name.
- Cerys
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"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.
- Tanwen
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"holy fire"Description:
Tanwen is a far more singular and colorful alternative to Bronwen.
