What makes a name Welsh?

Welsh names have a lyrical, musical quality all their own — given names rich in dd, ll, wy, and y (Rhys, Dylan, Carys, Ffion) paired with patronymic-rooted surnames (Jones, Williams, Davies, Evans). Many surnames trace back to a father's name (ap Rhys → Pryce). The vibe is ancient, poetic, and deeply tied to the valleys and song of Wales.
