When you journey into Wales, whether in person or just by looking at a map, you’ll be struck by the wealth and beauty of the nation’s place names: two millennia of history written into the landscape.
Most of Wales’ place names are in the Welsh language, known in Welsh as Cymraeg. But you’ll also find names whose origins lie in English, French, Irish, Flemish, Latin, Norse and British or Brittonic – the language that was spoken here 2,000 years ago and that developed into what we now call Welsh.
