Dolgellau
Dolgellau is a market community and community in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, pushing the River Wnion, a tributary of the River Mawddach. It is generally the county town of the historical county of Merionethshire (Welsh: Meirionnydd, Sir Feirionnydd), which shed its management standing when Gwynedd was created in 1974. Dolgellau is the primary base for climbers of Cadair Idris. Although really small, it is the second biggest negotiation in Southern Gwynedd after Tywyn. The area includes Penmaenpool. The name of the town is of unclear beginning, although dôl is Welsh for "field" or "dale", as well as (y) gelli (soft anomaly of celli) suggests "grove" or "spinney", as well as prevails in your area in names for farms in sheltered spaces. This would certainly appear to be one of the most likely derivation, offering the translation "Grove Meadow". It has actually additionally been recommended that the name might originate from words cell, suggesting "cell", translating for that reason as "Meadow of [monks'] cells", however this seems much less likely taking into consideration the background of the name. The earliest videotaped punctuation (from 1253, in the Survey of Merioneth) is "Dolkelew", although a spelling "Dolgethley" dates from 1285. From then till the 19th century, the majority of punctuations were along the lines of "Dôlgelly" "Dolgelley", "Dolgelly" or "Dolgelli" (Owain Glyndwr's scribe composed "Dolguelli"). Thomas Pennant made use of the type "Dolgelleu" in his Tours of Wales, and also this was the form made use of in the Church Registers in 1723, although it never had much currency. In 1825 the Registers had "Dolgellau", which create Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt adopted in 1836. While this form may derive from a false etymology, it came to be typical in Welsh as well as is now the typical form in both Welsh as well as English. It was taken on as the main name by the regional country district council in 1958. Quickly prior to the closure of the town's railway station it showed signs checking out variously Dolgelly, Dolgelley and also Dolgellau.
