Research into aspects of Welshness throughout history

I believe it means "son of". Its a largely archaic naming convention but nevertheless charming. I may be corrected on that though. I am a South-Walian...worse, a South East Walian. The Welsh language has sadly all but disappeared from Gwent ( eradicated at least in part by the infamous "Welsh Not") although efforts are being made to revive it by adult learners and via the educational system. I attended a "grammar" school in Pontypool when I was a kid where they taught French, German and Latin but NO Welsh. At the time as I believe I have mentioned elsewhere on this site, I didn't care. It was only later that I came to realise that I had lost something as a result of my education/miseducation.
