A charming guide to the beauty, meaning, and magic of Welsh girl names

Looking for the perfect Welsh name - for a baby, a character, yourself, a pet, or even your home? You’ve just found a delightful little treasure trove of ideas, meanings, and inspiration.

This book takes you on a gentle journey through an A-Z (well, almost - there’s no Z in the Welsh alphabet!) of feminine names rooted in the rich language, legends, and landscapes of Wales.

Whether you're drawn to the lyrical sounds, deep meanings, or timeless heritage, you’ll find names that range from the classic to the uncommon, the poetic to the powerful.

Inside You’ll Find -

A lovingly curated list of Welsh girl names, each with:
Pronunciation tips (Welsh spelling can be tricky - but we’ve got you covered!)

Meanings and origins steeped in myth, nature, and history

Famous associations, from queens and saints to singers and stories

Nicknames and potential quirks - because it’s always wise to consider both the glory and the gotchas of a name!

Bonus tips for choosing names mindfully, especially for bilingual households, fantasy or historical fiction characters, and avoiding unexpected pitfalls (rhymes, mispronunciations, or awkward initials!)

Whether you’re honouring your heritage, weaving Welsh beauty into your writing, or just love the lyrical elegance of names like Eira, Cerys, Aeronwen, or Seren - this book is filled with insight, guidance, and a dash of humour.

By the end, you’ll have more than just a list - you’ll have a newfound appreciation for the language and lore of Welsh names, and maybe even the perfect one chosen!
