This sets me wondering what Dan's name would then be in English. (I haven't
checked out Padraic's map set, so I can't be sure whether Dan (born in
W Midlands?) is born in Kemr or England. The first name would surely be
Daniel, but what about the last? Since Welsh "Ap" seems to disappear, I
guess the "ffeil" goes too, giving something like _Daniel Mewridge_...?
(My own family tree has a _Wellings_ branch, where _Wellings_ is a
prudently decambricized _Llewelyn_.)
