Welwyn
Welwyn (population 8,425) is a village and civil parish in Hertfordshire, England. The parish additionally consists of the villages of Digswell and Oaklands. It is in some cases called Old Welwyn to identify it from the much newer settlement of Welwyn Garden City, concerning a mile to the south, though some residents dislike the pointer of inability or irrelevance that often tends to be indicated by the tag "Old" and choose Welwyn Village. When saying where they live, locals will typically be asked, 'Welwyn or Welwyn Garden City?', as the latter's title is often reduced to simply Welwyn. To prevent confusion, there were strategies to alter Welwyn's name to 'Welwyn Minster' in 1990 but this met neighborhood resistance and also the concept was abandoned. The name is stemmed from Old English welig meaning "willow", referring to the trees that snuggle on the financial institutions of the River Mimram as it streams through the town. The name itself is a development from weligun, the dative kind of the word, and so is much more precisely equated as "at the willows", unlike neighboring Willian which is likely to indicate just "the willows". With having its name originated from welig rather than sealh (the much more frequently pointed out Old English word for willow), Welwyn is perhaps 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 railway station) was originally called 'High Welwyn' when initial created at the start of the 20th century.
