In addition to Satu's reference from *Celtic Baby Names* by Judy Sierra, stating that the name is derived from "gwlad", meaning "land, nation"...
...The Welsh feminine name of "Gwalia" means "Wales". It's interesting that the name of the country itself appears to be derived from the Welsh word for "nation".
