Anglesey (Ynys Mon) which is in Wales (Cymru) ... so I'm Welsh as were my parents and my grandparents and, as far as I can trace back, were all my great-great grandparents ... Now what does that say?

And yet, Anglesey is a Norse word meaning "Isle of the English" smiley - smiley

Eusebio - squad number 11

The Welsh name is YNYS MON and as far as I am aware Anglesey comes from Eingle's Eye as in the Norseman Eingle.
Isle of the English is not one which I have come accross before as the English never settled on Ynys Mon. The Romans had enough trouble crossing the Menai Straits!
Similarly Swansea comes from Swan's Eye and nearby Llandudno has the Great Orme named after the Norseman Orme ...

I'm from Newport in Wales. The welsh name is Casnewydd (sp). Which means "New Port". So I gather.

From London, England; currently living in west Donegal, Ireland, and love both places.

It's nice to see that there are researchers in the US and all sorts of countries. It's one of the best things about online communities.

So is anonimity - it makes prejudice impossible. smiley - magic
But I always find other peoples' locations fascinating.
