"Cunnedda" is also suggested to be a title rather than a name. It's suggested that "Kennedy" is an evolution of "Cunneda"

Topological names are uncommon in Wales? Pen y Fan? Abertawe, Aberystwyth, Pwllheli, Pencader, there's lots of Pwll's (such as near Llantrisant).

Very interesting. I'm American but my grandmas people hail from South Wales. I was interested in the Silures because Rome describes them as looking darker and more swarthy like the Iberians. My grandma was like that too. Super fun to get into the data and possibilities .

Silures probably means "from the same Seed". In other words, "Our People" which in one way or another is the same with other Brythonic peoples. The root of the Iceni is yGeni. Geni is Birth, Cenedl means nation, so again this means from the same seed. The Pictii was most certainly applied to all Britons who Painted themselves, with woad, charcoal, ochre etc and not just those living in Caledonia. Britancoli (Dirty Little Britons) was similarly applied to those living north and south of the Wall.

There's a legend of Aerona (Agrona) washing the bodies and severed limbs of those that died in battle at fording points.

Thanks for posting

Diolch yn fawr iawn!

I can't believe I was the first person to like this video. The beauty of nature there is like a cwtsh. That music was really beautiful too. I love the drones and complex harmonies of Celtic music.

This video really helped me realize I was imagining the Romans speaking like modern Italians during the time when they occupied Wales (or attempted to) 😂. Instead of speaking what, Latin or Greek? I am so stupid 🤦‍♂️🙄😅. Seriously, I really appreciate the good information. Words tell us so much about who we are and where we came from. It never fails to intrigue me.

Buddy there was no country called Ireland in the 1st century the Romans and Greeks called today's Ireland as Scotia ie The Land of the Scots and the people were called the Scotti ie Scots the Scotti landed in today's Ireland in the 1st century from likely central Europe, it was these Scotti that migrated to the west coast of today's Scotland they Scotti/Scots are NOT Irish as Ireland did not exist untill the 7th century later from Scotia it changed to Hibernia and later on Ireland.

I wish I was your age again; there's so much of Wales I'd like to explore the way I used to enjoy (hiking, biking, boating etc). Your compassion for those hens made me well up with affection 😊. Good on you!

My given name is also a Welsh place name, meaning "The White Ridge." The Anglicised version would be Kevin White.

P.S. The Welsh side of my family has some real characters notorious for befriending animals and taking care of the less fortunate ones. Not surprised but happy to know you're likewise their champion. 💪❤

This was so interesting, I didn't know that about the two corgis 😄. Those Normans really had a way of spreading their junk all over huh 😂. (They're part of my family tree too, though.) You've done well and become proficient with video editing I see in some of your later work. I haven't done that sort of thing in quite a while, I cut my teeth on video editing when HD was just becoming available. I remember well how long it took to render files if you wanted professional results, even with special hardware. The slick production value clips are nice but sometimes the shaky shorts shot with a phone are nice too. Good luck with it. The info in posts like this really appreciated. Diolch.

I'm obviously watching these vids late and out of sequence... I'm interested in your ancestry journey and I know what you found out subsequent to making this video, but I watch them as RUclips recommends them. May I just say, I know it's just a subjective impression but you look quintessentially Welsh to me. I know what you mean about the swarthy complexion... I didn't get that from my Welsh ancestry parent and always wished I would have tanned easily and not burned. And both of my parents had jet black hair but only one of four children did. Almost all the grandchildren are blond. You are very good-looking and have a lot to celebrate. Very fine representative of Cymru 💙

Brecon is at the junction of the river Honddu and the Wye. So. It IS at the estuary of the River Honddu

I’d be interested in your view on this. I think that Votadini and Gododdin are the same people, and that the former is simply a Latinisation of the latter. Firstly, I don’t speak or read Welsh and my Latin is rudimentary - O level, 60 years ago! - but I am interested in early medieval Britain and specifically what is nowadays southern Scotland (I am myself from there), so I am hypothesising at best, or just guessing. But here we go - The Romans generally tended to name people with a Latin approximation of their own names for themselves. That didn’t mean that they couldn’t make up names or infer names for people they’d never actually met, based on something they were told by others, but that’s what they usually did - there are lots of examples of that. So how would you get from Gododdin to Votadini? Latin has no letter W, the letter V usually indicates a “w” (or “oua”) sound. Latin has no “th” sound - where it appears in other languages it often becomes a hard “d” or “t” in Latin. The terminal “i” in Latin often indicates either a masculine plural or a masculine genitive singular (“of the”) noun. The letter “I” is almost always the “ee” sound. So VOTADINI becomes WOH - TAH - DEEN - (EE). (Where the “EE” is probably simply a pluralisation). Brythonic languages - I think - have a “GW” sound often represented by “G” and “dd” is pronounced as the English “th”. So the Brythonic “might” (?) have been GODODDIN = GWOH - DOH - THEEN. If I’m even approximately right it seems a remarkable coincidence. What do you think?

My last relative born there was from around Aberteifi. That Cardigan Corgi *is* handsome. WOOF! 😉

Mist. Fog low cloud rain more rain. Narrow roads and very narrow roads. Sign postd you can't read. Oh and no consistency in speed limits. Nice smooth roads not seen a pot hole for 3 days.

So refreshing that the Welsh names are pronounced correctly! O'r diwedd! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✊⚔️

Thank you for your effort.

Very cool that's where I'm from. Happy to help lol 😊👍 Lothians m8

My material uncle used work in hotels in Llandrindod Wells, my family used to the town or near two villages . My parental Grandmother was front Welshpool and called me Dyfed. The Cymraen, the Bretons and Cornish are celtic cousins which language are near to them The Irish, Scottish and Manxs are celtic cousins have Gaelic languages. Some places of Scotland have still Cymraen names because Cymraen used kingdoms which is South Scotland not the Picts or Irish,

Fideo ddiddorol iawn! / A fascinating video! Daliwch ati! / Keep at it! Coming from Blaenau Gwent, I'm very interested in the Silures, but I've never really gone out of my way to research them thoroughly. Have you thought about making a general video about them? That would be very informative for a lot of people. As regards the name Silures, Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru says only: Llwyth Brythonig a drigai yn ne-ddwyrain Cymru yng nghyfnod y Rhufeiniaid ("A Brythonic tribe who lived in southeast Wales in the Roman period."). Wiktionary gives this etymology: "[Silures] Borrowed from Ancient Greek Σίλυρες (Sílures), of Celtic origin, possibly Proto-Celtic *sīlom (“seed; stock, lineage”)." When Brythonic became Old Welsh, one of the major phonetic changes was that initial *s became h, e.g. haf ("summer") from Proto-Celtic *samos. Sīlom would have given hil ("lineage") in Welsh, and is found in phrases like yr hil ddynol ("the human race"). Since the Silures thought of themselves as different to the surrounding 'tribes', could their name have meant something like 'human beings', cf. the native American tribe, the Cheyenne, who called themselves Tsistsistas (“human beings”). Just a thought.... Even though we know that classical writers, like Tacitus, noted that the Silures looked different to the other inhabitants of Britain, there's no mention of the language they spoke. They probably spoke British Celtic, which some believe was very close to Irish Celtic at the time, and this would tie in with the suggested connection to Proto-Celtic *sīlom . Italic Latin and the Celtic languages have no difficulty differentiating between /k/ and /s/, cf. W. castell ("castle") from L. castellum; W. sant ("saint"), L. sānctus.

Everyone thinks of southwalez 😞

I think there is a lot of differences in the regions not so much a North/South but a difference of 20-25 miles. I'm from Wrexham and two weeks ago I was in Bala which is about 28-30 miles away there was differences just by the way we speak and sayings but I was happy and got on really well with people in Bala and didn't feel out of place. What I feel annoyed when people ( not from Wales ) say Welsh people say this or that and I say no not where i'm from we do have regional differences like any other country on the planet

... and the beautiful people in it.

So glad I have never had to work in a mine like some of my forefathers. They appreciated the beautiful countryside too if not more so.

How beautiful it is and my family there.
