cymraeg

The Welsh language (Cymraeg) is central to the culture and history of Ceredigion and Cymru (Wales as you may know it). The number of 'Welsh' speakers has been falling over the years and by now only 47.3% of the population of Ceredigion are 'Welsh' speakers. One of the reasons for this is the out migration from Ceredigion which then creates vaccum for the immigration from England to the area.

More often than not the place names in Ceredigion tells us heaps about that particular place, unless the name has been changed to English names by English colonists or Anglicised by English colonists.

Saith – The name Saith in Tresaith comes from the old name for Sant (Saint) – Saith, or you could believe this story about the sisters from Ireland
