HelpRe: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
Oh yay, new Welsh BAs! :D
I love Gwion and I've been oddly fascinated by Gwenno for a while now. I'm not sure how I feel about them as a sibset, though. I'd probably mix them up all the time.
By the way, what does Prys mean?
Is Eila a "real" Welsh name? If so, what does it mean? Oh, and how would it be pronounced? ;)
And what does Esmor mean?
And one more question:
in the last bunch of Welsh BAs there was an Elenid. I didn't get the chance to ask about the name back then, so I thought I'd take the opportunity now: what does Elenid mean?

Prys developed from 'ap Rhys' meaning 'son of Rhys' and is mainly a surname; it's also a word meaning 'wood'
I haven't seen Eila before. When I looked up births for it there were quite a few listed, only one of whom was Welsh, so I'd say it's probably not a Welsh name. If it were, I'd pronounce it to rhyme with Kayla.
I have no idea what Esmor means - sorry! It's very unusual and seems to have occurred mostly in North-east Wales, where there's a village called Rhosesmor ('Esmor Heath'), so probably derived from the place-name.
Elenid is also a place-name of unknown meaning, from an area of land (also called Elenydd) in Radnorshire.
