Welsh baby girl names

Bore da!

Expecting a baby girl in the spring and looking for middle names for my list of first names:
Arwen
Anwen
Arianwen

I'm really drawn to Arwen Angharad. It's long though isn't it?

I also know Arwen may not be a genuine Welsh name but I do love the character Arwen, so I don't mind too much.

Thanks (diolch) in advance!

Welsh middle names are a little trickier I find because most assert themselves strongly as first names.

That being said here's some that might fit the bill...

  • Nia
  • Efa
  • Cadi
  • Mali
  • Mari
  • Gwen
  • Celyn
  • Sian
  • Myfi
  • Hefina

Hope that gives some inspiration

I’m not welsh but have lived in wales for 20 years... most of the nice Welsh names I could think of ended also in -en (or -in or - on!) so those wouldn’t work with your first name choices (which are lovely, btw).
But how about:

Rhian
Lowri
Ffion
Eira
