Riassunto:

Welsh Names contains a selection of Welsh girls' and boys' first names from Welsh history and romance, as well as surnames. This book is ideal to help you find a baby name, or check the brief history of a family name or surname. The short history of the name refers to the romance and history of Wales. Some saints are also mentioned. Origins of other words and names are also given.

L'autore: D. Geraint Lewis was brought up in a south Wales mining village. His grandfather's mother-tongue was Welsh and both his parents were able to speak Welsh, but he had to learn it. D Geraint Lewis feels that many adults of his generation would identify with his language challenges - and he felt a strong sense of identity through names inherited through the family. D Geraint Lewis sets out to explain names in this book and makes clear the legends they come from, and where they are drawn from Welsh history, or from poems, and literature.
