The Mystery Of Ynys Gifftan's Name.

[@WyeExplorer]

Full view Scott or should I say, 'full listen.' It is the case that place names change to suit whoever is in power or even to make some feel at home. Take the Saxons, the Vikings, or the Normans - even the Romans. One only has to look at the areas, which were dominated by them to see how place names and names of land features signify their presence. The Northeast is a fine example. In fact, closer to home we can see the French influence. Humans are competitive and have always sought to conquer - still doing it. I view this is a tale of that - typical human occupation. Well, good you solved the mystery. All the best. Mark

Da iawn, it just means yn gymraeg, craggy island, ever heard of a comedy series like that?

Someone's tried to have a laugh. That much I know :) I've tracked down an adjective with what seems to be the same historic root and it describes a 'lle ber'. It'll be in my next upload on this subject of the ynys when I drill into the translation.
