Any Welsh speakers here?

[LittleBlackMule]

I’ve just bought a little spotty job for my daughter, and the name on her passport is Welsh. I was wondering if anyone here could give a rough translation of it, and how to pronounce it?
It’s Bwlchclawdd Alaw. I’m afraid I wouldn’t know where to start with that!

My other half is Welsh born and bred, she's at work at the moment but if no one else comes along to help then please PM me and I will ask her to help later, Oz

Bwlchclawdd is the stud name. Bwlch Clawdd is Wales. Pronunciation at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/...mes_of_cities_and_villages_in_Carmarthenshire

From Google 'Alaw is a feminine name of Celtic origin. It comes from Afon Alaw, a river in Anglesey. The rivers name is said to mean 'Melodious'. The name is not common outside of Wales but it can be found. It is pronounced 'AH-low' with the 'low' pronounced to rhyme with 'how' and 'now'.

Beat me to it... Bwlch Clawdd is a place not far from Swansea, The word bwlch means a pass, and clawwd means a earth dike, boundary, trench.

Alaw can mean water lilly or a melody, a tune.

I think it's Bwlch Clawdd, Carmarthenshire not Bwlch y Clawdd, Rhondda Cynon Taf
