Description:
The surnames of the Welsh are derived from the Welsh language. The Welsh people are a Celtic people who are descended from the Britons, who invaded and settled in Wales in the late 4th century BC. The Welsh language is spoken in Wales, and there are also Welsh-speaking communities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The Welsh surnames are typically Welsh words that were Anglicized (changed from their original Welsh form) during the English colonization of Wales. There are many different Welsh surnames, and they can be divided into several categories based on their origin, history, culture, and customs. Some of the most common Welsh surnames are: ap Cymru (from the Welsh word ap, meaning 'son of'), Davies, Evans, Howell, Lewis, Roberts, and Williams.
