Welsh Names that Start With H

A bold Welsh name with a gentle meaning, Heddwyn is notably associated with the poet Ellis Humphrey Evans, who died at Passchendaele during World War One. He used Hedd Wyn as his Bardic name, having been inspired by the way sunlight broke through the mist in the Welsh valleys, making this a truly poetic feeling choice. In fact, it only started to be used after the poet's death. 
 
Derived from the elements hedd meaning "peace" and gwyn meaning "blessed, white", it is pronounced similarly to Edwin with a H at the beginning, but the dd sound is more like the th sound in thin in Wales.
