Beautiful Welsh Girl Names

A list of my favourite beautiful Welsh girl names! Most of them are on Nameberry, but some are just too unique :)
  1. Briallen
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "primrose"
    • Description:

      Unusual floral name which would be perfect for a spring baby girl, if you can pronounce the Welsh double L correctly. It's a tricky sound for non-native Welsh speakers, kind of halfway between an H and an L.
  2. Cerys
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "love"
    • Description:

      Common name in Wales that's all but unknown in the U.S. Certainly an attractive choice ripe for export. In the UK it sits at Number 330.
  3. Eira
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "snow"
    • Description:

      This Welsh nature name that can be pronounced exactly like the male Ira. Or, to avoid confusion, you could just name her Snow.
  4. Elowen
    • Origin:

      Cornish
    • Meaning:

      "elm"
    • Description:

      A beautiful modern Cornish nature name that is rapidly picking up steam in the States: even spawning variant spellings like Elowyn and Elowynn. In its native region, it wasn't widely used as a name before the twentieth century, when the Cornish language was revived. A (currently) unique member of the fashionble El- family of names, it has a pleasant, evocative sound.
  5. Eirianwen
    • Eirlys
      • Eirwen
        • Gwenllian
          • Rhian
            • Origin:

              Welsh
            • Meaning:

              "maiden"
            • Description:

              Popular in Wales, but likely to be mispronounced as Ryan here.
          • Rhiannon
            • Origin:

              Welsh
            • Meaning:

              "divine queen"
            • Description:

              Most of us had never heard this lovely Welsh name with links to the moon until we heard the 1976 smash hit Fleetwood Mac song of that name, with lyrics by Stevie Nicks. That same year it popped onto the U.S. Top 1000 at Number 593.
          • Rhianwen
            • Seren
              • Origin:

                Welsh, Turkish
              • Meaning:

                "star or sail mast"
              • Description:

                Seren is a top girls' name in Wales – and a lovely choice almost unknown elsewhere. Seren, in the Sirona form, was an ancient goddess of the hot springs.
