Pronounced HAYL-wehn in N. Wales & HIEL-wehn in S. Wales.
Commenter KathosAnnora is correct about the two pronunciations of this name. When I lived in a Welsh-speaking part of Wales my next-door neighbours explained this difference in the name's pronunciation to me, one being from South Wales and one from the North.
Doesn't any one thinks this sounds like Halloween?
No.
Actually I believe this name is pronounced "HAYL-wen". At least, that is how I hear it pronounced in North Wales (perhaps "HIEL-wen" is the pronunciation in South Wales?)It's a nice name nonetheless, with a very pretty meaning.
Pronounced "HIEL-wen". [noted -ed]
