Welsh boys' names come from a language that has spoken itself into stone and song for over a thousand years. Many grew out of Old Welsh and Celtic roots, shaped by the valleys and mountains of Wales itself. You'll recognize some through their leaps into English — Dylan and Tristan are now international — but plenty stay fiercer and closer to home, like Gavin, Bryce, and Kane, which hold their Welsh character no matter where they're spoken.
The tradition here isn't just about sound. A Welsh name often carries a story: of warriors, saints, or the landscape itself. Some names live in the old myths and legend-cycles, while others mark a family's place in a particular region or generation. Each entry shows the meaning and origin, so you can see whether a name comes straight from Welsh words, from history, or from the blend of both that makes Welsh naming distinct.
