Is Your Name Welsh?
These are just a few of the familiar names that have a Welsh origin. If your name starts with the letters P or B, you likely have a Welsh background. As with Mac or O in Scotch or Irish, ‘ap’ in Welsh meant son of. Thus Evan ap Hugh became Pugh, Thomas ap Owen became Bowen, ap Rhys/Rees became Price, etc.
