Academy of Saint Gabriel Report 156

This report is available at http://www.s-gabriel.org/156

This is one of the Academy's earliest reports. We are not confident that these early reports are accurate. Please use it with caution.

Greetings,

Here's the information we have on the name "Gwynedd."

The use of "Gwynedd" as a personal name is purely modern. We don't know of any similar name used in the 13th century, although we do have a late-period reference for the Welsh women's name "Gwineth" from 1577. (1)

"Gwynedd" is properly pronounced "GWUHN-eth" with a "th" as in "teethe." "Gwineth" is pronounced "GWIN-eth" with a "th" as in "teeth."

Tangwystl verch Morgant Glasvryn, Effric neyn Kenyeoch vc Ralte, Rouland Carre, and Zenobia Naphtali all contributed to this letter.

We hope this has been helpful. If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.

In service,
Alan Fairfax
