Welsh girls' names come from a language that's older than English, shaped by valleys and villages where the Celtic sounds still ring clear. Many grew from the Mabinogion — the medieval Welsh tales — or from saints and legends particular to Wales itself. Names like Gladys and Gwendolyn carry the soft mutations and long vowels of Welsh, while others like Megan, Morgan, and Wendy arrived later, some through English reimagining of their Welsh roots.
You'll find names tied to nature and mythology standing next to modern retellings that soften the edges or shift the spelling for easier use beyond Wales. Each name below shows you its meaning and where it came from, so you can tell which ones belong to the old stories and which ones are newer creations that just sound Welsh.
