Welsh Girl Names: Heritage, Meaning and Sound

Welsh girl names are lyrical, old, and quietly confident. They carry goddess names from the Mabinogion, saint names from early Welsh Christianity, and nature-linked words that have worn well for centuries. This guide collects the most beloved Welsh girl names with pronunciation help.

Welsh girl names often land on parents like music. Rhiannon is the name of a horse goddess. Bronwen means 'white breast' (a poetic phrase for purity). Cerys means 'love'. These are names with substance that rarely need defending.

Soft Welsh girl names

Cerys, Ffion, Nia and Lowri are gentle, melodic, and immediately readable. They are excellent choices for parents who want Welsh heritage in a name that glides.
