Dolgellau
Dolgellau is a market community and neighborhood in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, lying on the River Wnion, a tributary of the River Mawddach. It is typically the county town of the historical county of Merionethshire (Welsh: Meirionnydd, Sir Feirionnydd), which shed its administrative status when Gwynedd was produced in 1974. Dolgellau is the primary base for climbers of Cadair Idris. Although extremely small, it is the 2nd largest negotiation in Southern Gwynedd after Tywyn. The area consists of Penmaenpool. The name of the community is of unsure beginning, although dôl is Welsh for "meadow" or "dale", and also (y) gelli (soft mutation of celli) indicates "grove" or "spinney", and also prevails in your area in names for farms in sheltered spaces. This would certainly appear to be one of the most likely derivation, giving the translation "Grove Meadow". It has likewise been recommended that the name could originate from the word cell, indicating "cell", translating for that reason as "Meadow of [monks'] cells", yet this appears much less most likely considering the background of the name. The earliest recorded punctuation (from 1253, in the Study of Merioneth) is "Dolkelew", although a punctuation "Dolgethley" dates from 1285. From then till the 19th century, many spellings were along the lines of "Dôlgelly" "Dolgelley", "Dolgelly" or "Dolgelli" (Owain Glyndwr's scribe created "Dolguelli"). Thomas Pennant made use of the type "Dolgelleu" in his Tours of Wales, as well as this was the type used in the Church Registers in 1723, although it never had much currency. In 1825 the Registers had "Dolgellau", which develop Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt adopted in 1836. While this kind might originate from an incorrect etymology, it became conventional in Welsh and is now the typical type in both Welsh as well as English. It was embraced as the main name by the regional rural district council in 1958. Soon before the closure of the town's train station it showed indicators reviewing variously Dolgelly, Dolgelley as well as Dolgellau.
