What's your name in Welsh?








 

How do you say your name in Welsh? Here are some names that have been translated into Welsh. Unfortunately, not even name can be translated--usually the names that are translatable are the names of historical or religious figures that had an impact on people speaking a language. If you don't see your name here, it probably was never translated.
