Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/Welsh

Usage note Most Welsh use an English, Scottish or Irish name. However, there are also some Welsh names that are still in use. Some, such as Evan, are still quite common. The Welsh get by with a pretty small collection of surnames among them. [Note - names ending in 'wen' are feminine, 'wyn' is masculine.] Girls' names Aderyn Adwen Aelwen Aelwyn Aeres Aerona Alaw Aldyth Alwyn Alys Anchoret Aneira Angharad Angwen Anwen Aranwen Arddun Arfonia Arianwen Artaith Arwen Arwenna Arwyn Auron Awen Awena Aylwen Banwen Bechan Bethan Betrys Blodwen Blodwyn Blodyn Braint Branwen Briallen Bronwen Bryn Cadi Cari Caronwe Carwen Caryl Carys Ceinlys Ceinwen Ceri Ceridwen Cerys Ciara Collwen Cordelia Crisiant Daron Delwen Delyth Dervyth Dilys Dwyn Ebrilla Eifiona Eilian Eilwen Eira Eirawen Eirian Eirlys Eiriol Eirwen Elen Eleri Eluned Elwy Elynor Enfys Enid Eswen Esyllt Eurwen Ffion Ffiona Fflur Gaenor Garwen Gaynor Gladys Glain Glenda Glenys Glynis Gwalia Gwen Gwenda Gwendalen Gwendolen Gwendolyn Gweneth Gwenifer Gwenllian Gwennan Gwent Gwyneth Haf Hafwen Heulwen Hunydd Hwyela Iola Ionawr Ionor Ionwen Ivory Jestina Kerridwen Llawela Lleulu Llewelyn Llinos Llio Lluan Llywela Lowry Lyneth Lynna Lynne Lynwen Maelona Mai Mair Mairwen Malen Marared Marged Margiad Meduwen Medwenna Megan Meirian Meirionwen Menna Meredith Mererid Modron Morgana Morwenna Mwynen Mwynwen Myfanwy Myfina Nerys Nesta Nia Olwen Rhedyn Rhian Rhianna Rhiannon Rhianwen Rhonda Rhonwen Rhoslyn Seren Sian Siani Talfryn Tegai Tegan Tegwen Tiarne Whynne Winne Wyne Wynn Wynne Boys' names Aeron Afan Alaw Alec Aled Alun Amlyn Anarawd Angwyn Arawn Arwel Arwyn Asaph Atha Auryn Awen Beaven Bedo Ben Bevan Bevin Bevis Bleddyn Bradwen Bran Brice Bryce Brychan Bryn Brynmor Cadan Cadoc Cador Cai Caradoc Carwyn Ceiro Cellan Celyn Cemlyn Ceri Cerwyn Cledwyn Coel Collen Colwyn Conway Conwy Cradoc Cranog Cynan Cyngen Dafydd (Dewi) Dai Deinol DeWitt Dyfan Dylan Edryd Eifion Eilin Eilir Einion Eiros Eirwen Elaeth Elfed Elgan Ellis Elwyn Elystan Emlyn Emry Emrys Emyr Eryl Eurig Evan Gareth Garmon Garth Garwyn Gavin Geraint Gerlad Gethin Gildas Glanmor Glyn Glyndwr Gofannon Gomer Griffin Griffith Gruffyd Grugwyn Gwalter Gwent Gwilym Gwion Gwyn Gwynfor Hefin Howell Huw Ianto Ieuan Ifan Iolo Iwan Jac Kane Keneth Kim Lefi Lestyn Lewys Llawen Llelo Llew Llewelyn Llio Lloyd Llyr Luc Mabon Machno Macsen Madoc Madog Manod Marvin Math Meilir Meirion Melfyn Meredith Miall Moren Morgan Morgant Morus Osian Owain Owen Peris Petran Prys Pwyll Reese Reis Rhain Rheinhallt Rhirid Rhiwallon Rhodri Rhufon Rhun Rhydian Rhys Rice Robat Siarl Sion Sulien Taffy (Warning!
