Dolgellau
Dolgellau is a market community as well as community in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, pushing the River Wnion, a tributary of the River Mawddach. It is traditionally the county town of the historic county of Merionethshire (Welsh: Meirionnydd, Sir Feirionnydd), which lost its administrative standing when Gwynedd was developed in 1974. Dolgellau is the major base for climbers of Cadair Idris. Although extremely little, it is the 2nd biggest negotiation in Southern Gwynedd after Tywyn. The area consists of Penmaenpool. The name of the community is of unpredictable beginning, although dôl is Welsh for "field" or "dale", and (y) gelli (soft mutation of celli) implies "grove" or "spinney", and also is common in your area in names for ranches in sheltered nooks. This would certainly seem to be one of the most likely derivation, giving the translation "Grove Meadow". It has additionally been suggested that the name can derive from words cell, implying "cell", converting as a result as "Meadow of [monks'] cells", but this seems much less most likely considering the history of the name. The earliest videotaped punctuation (from 1253, in the Study of Merioneth) is "Dolkelew", although a punctuation "Dolgethley" dates from 1285. From after that until the 19th century, most punctuations were along the lines of "Dôlgelly" "Dolgelley", "Dolgelly" or "Dolgelli" (Owain Glyndwr's scribe wrote "Dolguelli"). Thomas Pennant used the kind "Dolgelleu" in his Tours of Wales, as well as this was the type used in the Church Registers in 1723, although it never ever had much currency. In 1825 the Registers had "Dolgellau", which create Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt embraced in 1836. While this kind might derive from an incorrect etymology, it came to be basic in Welsh and also is now the common kind in both Welsh and also English. It was adopted as the main name by the regional rural district council in 1958. Quickly prior to the closure of the community's train station it presented signs reviewing variously Dolgelly, Dolgelley and Dolgellau.
