Welwyn
Welwyn (population 8,425) is a village and also civil parish in Hertfordshire, England. The parish also includes the towns of Digswell and Oaklands. It is in some cases called Old Welwyn to differentiate it from the much newer negotiation of Welwyn Garden City, about a mile to the south, though some residents do not like the idea of inability or irrelevance that often tends to be implied by the name "Old" as well as favor Welwyn Town. When claiming where they live, residents will typically be asked, 'Welwyn or Welwyn Garden City?', as the latter's title is commonly shortened to simply Welwyn. To stay clear of confusion, there were plans to transform Welwyn's name to 'Welwyn Minster' in 1990 but this consulted with neighborhood resistance as well as the suggestion was deserted. The name is stemmed from Old English welig significance "willow", describing the trees that nestle on the banks of the River Mimram as it streams via the village. The name itself is an evolution from weligun, the dative kind of the word, and so is more exactly translated as "at the willows", unlike neighboring Willian which is likely to indicate simply "the willows". Through having its name derived from welig instead of sealh (the more typically mentioned Old English word for willow), Welwyn is possibly cognate with Heligan in Cornwall whose name is stemmed from helygen, the Cornish word for willow that shares a root with welig. The nearby contemporary village of Digswell (around Welwyn North railway station) was originally called 'High Welwyn' when first developed at the beginning of the 20th century.
