Welsh Names for Boys

Welsh names for boys have, for the most part, lagged behind their female counterparts in terms of use beyond Wales. Only a few Welsh boys names — Llewellyn, Rhys — feel familiar at all, and even they're not all that popular. But Welsh boys names, for that reason, feel excitingly unusual. Welsh names for boys, without a doubt, deserve more consideration.

Perhaps this list of Welsh boys names can help get things moving. The top names below rank among the current US Top 1000 Baby Names and are ordered by popularity. Unique names rank below the Top 1000 and are listed alphabetically.
