Dolgellau
Dolgellau is a market community and also neighborhood in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, pushing the River Wnion, a tributary of the River Mawddach. It is typically the county town of the historic region of Merionethshire (Welsh: Meirionnydd, Sir Feirionnydd), which lost its management standing when Gwynedd was produced in 1974. Dolgellau is the major base for climbers of Cadair Idris. Although extremely small, it is the second largest negotiation in Southern Gwynedd after Tywyn. The community includes Penmaenpool. The name of the community is of unsure origin, although dôl is Welsh for "field" or "dale", and also (y) gelli (soft anomaly of celli) means "grove" or "spinney", as well as is common in your area in names for farms in sheltered nooks. This would certainly appear to be one of the most likely derivation, giving the translation "Grove Meadow". It has likewise been suggested that the name might stem from words cell, implying "cell", converting consequently as "Meadow of [monks'] cells", but this seems much less most likely thinking about the history of the name. The earliest tape-recorded punctuation (from 1253, in the Survey of Merioneth) is "Dolkelew", although a punctuation "Dolgethley" days from 1285. From after that till the 19th century, the majority of spellings were along the lines of "Dôlgelly" "Dolgelley", "Dolgelly" or "Dolgelli" (Owain Glyndwr's scribe wrote "Dolguelli"). Thomas Pennant made use of the kind "Dolgelleu" in his Tours of Wales, as well as this was the form made use of in the Church Registers in 1723, although it never had much money. In 1825 the Registers had "Dolgellau", which form Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt taken on in 1836. While this form might stem from an incorrect etymology, it came to be standard in Welsh and is currently the common form in both Welsh and English. It was adopted as the official name by the regional rural district council in 1958. Quickly prior to the closure of the town's train station it presented indications reading variously Dolgelly, Dolgelley and also Dolgellau.
