Welsh Medieval Names
Medieval Welsh Names included many from Old Welsh. These would normally be used with a Patronym or Welsh Surname
Many Medieval Welsh used patronyms (using "ap" or "ab" for son, "ferch" or "verch" for daughter). Surnames became more common, many coming from Welsh bynames and nicknames. Others were patronyms that became hereditary surnames (ap Owen -> Bowen)
For more names there is an Fantasy British Character Names generator at Chaos Gen. There is a pdf of these and more tables on Drive Thru RPG as British Fantasy Names.
