I have a few favorite Welsh boy names, but not a lot; not sure why. Here goes!
  1. Caradoc

    • Origin:

      Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "amiable, beloved"

    • Description:

      Derived from the name Caradog, the handsome ancient Celtic name was worn by one of the Knights of the Round Table, as well as a semi-legendary Welsh King. Possibly a cognate of Cedric and Carys, Caradoc is ultimately derived from the Brythonic name Caratācos meaning "loved", itself originating from the Celtic karu.
  2. Dai

    • Origin:

      Welsh; Japanese

    • Meaning:

      "beloved; great"

    • Description:

      A cross-cultural name that can be a nickname for David, as is common in Wales, pronounced "dye".
  3. Emrys

    • Origin:

      Welsh, variation of Ambrose

    • Meaning:

      "immortal"

    • Description:

      If you're looking for a Welsh name less common than Dylan, Griffin, Evan, or Morgan, you might want to consider this offbeat epithet of the wise wizard Merlin. It's currently in the Welsh top 100 and in the England and Wales top 1000 over all and has been rising in recent years.
