Welwyn
Welwyn (population 8,425) is a town and also civil parish in Hertfordshire, England. The parish likewise consists of the towns of Digswell and Oaklands. It is in some cases called Old Welwyn to differentiate it from the much newer settlement of Welwyn Garden City, concerning a mile to the south, though some residents dislike the suggestion of inability or irrelevance that has a tendency to be suggested by the moniker "Old" as well as favor Welwyn Village. When saying where they live, locals will usually be asked, 'Welwyn or Welwyn Garden City?', as the latter's title is often shortened to merely Welwyn. To prevent complication, there were plans to alter Welwyn's name to 'Welwyn Minster' in 1990 however this consulted with local resistance as well as the suggestion was abandoned. The name is originated from Old English welig meaning "willow", referring to the trees that snuggle on the banks of the River Mimram as it flows with the town. The name itself is an evolution from weligun, the dative form of the word, therefore is much more exactly equated as "at the willows", unlike neighboring Willian which is likely to imply just "the willows". With having its name originated from welig instead of sealh (the extra typically pointed out Old English word for willow), Welwyn is possibly cognate with Heligan in Cornwall whose name is originated from helygen, the Cornish word for willow that shares an origin with welig. The nearby modern-day town of Digswell (around Welwyn North train station) was originally called 'High Welwyn' when first established at the beginning of the 20th century.
