One often see's a visitor to this nation of mine with a vague look on his or her face. The reason is often as not that they are trying to understand a map or a place name. In an attempt to assist them, I have often stopped. Having done so there have been many times that I have been asked to explain the meaning of some of those very same place names, so it is that I have penned a few meanings here so that you dear visitor may understand some of the names that you may come across here in my website.

My definitions have been confirmed by the use of ' Y Geiriadur Mawr ' The complete Welsh-English, English-Welsh Dictionary, compiled by H. Meurig Evans. M.A and W.O. Thomas B.A. to whom I am extreemly gratefull
