Re: Pretty Welsh girl's name I saw today (not in data base)

I'd say air-YON-a, although as Llewella said it would vary, depending on which part of Wales you're from. I haven't seen it before, although I've come across a few Eifionas. 'eirian' is a word meaning either bright or beautiful, but it could also be related to 'eira', meaning snow. The -a ending is borrowed from English, so I think I'd prefer Eirion or Eirian.
