HelpRe: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
ooh, Osian. I like Osian (and Ossian), and I actually prefer those spellings over the original. Pronunciation issues aside, the Welsh and Anglicized forms just look nicer to me.
May I please have additional information on:
Arwyn
Tecwyn
Einir
Meilir
Ifanwy
I'm unfamiliar with those. :)

Arwyn - AR-wyn - from Old Welsh, based on gwyn meaning fair, handsome.
Tecwyn - TEC-wyn - meaning unknown
Einir - AY-neer - meaning unknown
Meilir - MAY-leer - more usually spelt Meilyr, apparently taken from Brythonic words meaning 'great king'.
Meilyr is probably the most common out of those, but they're all fairly ordinary names. Ifanwy, however, is really unusual. It's probably a feminisation of Ifan based on Myfanwy, and it looks like there have only ever been two of them.
