Welsh Girls Names You’ll Want To Steal For Your Baby

My love for baby names has extended into many different languages and cultures, and Welsh names are some of the most beautiful I’ve found. You certainly don’t need to be from Wales to choose one of these stunning old Welsh girls names for your baby.

The most beautiful and popular Welsh girls names

Eira

Pronounced “Eye-ra”, this gorgeous name is the perfect choice is you love the recently trendy baby name “Isla” but want something less popular. It means snow, so it’s especially fitting if you’re having a winter baby.

Mari

This variant of Mary is easy to read and pronounce, but just unique enough to stand out. It means bitter.

Fflur

Don’t let the spelling scare you away. You say it like “fleer”, and it’s another nature name meaning flora.

Beautiful and feminine, Aerona means fruit or berry.

  1. These are beautiful! I wish I had these around before our daughter was born. Maybe if I get a Welsh Corgi? Lol but great post!

    1. Haha, thanks Maegan! I’m always so intrigued by new (to me!) and different names. I think I’d need a whole tank of fish to be able to use all the names I’ll never get to use on babies!
