Old Welsh Names
"Old Welsh" covers roughly 8th to 12th century CE.
Old Welsh bynames were usually a parent's name. For sons this would be "ab" or "ap" and their father's name. For daughters this would be "merch" or "verch". A few used nicknames or other Bynames instead.
Related names include Cornish, Medieval Welsh and Old Irish.
