HelpRe: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Adenydd
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.
