Dolgellau
Dolgellau is a market town as well as neighborhood in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, resting on the River Wnion, a tributary of the River Mawddach. It is generally the county town of the historic region of Merionethshire (Welsh: Meirionnydd, Sir Feirionnydd), which shed its administrative condition when Gwynedd was produced in 1974. Dolgellau is the primary base for mountain climbers of Cadair Idris. Although very small, it is the 2nd biggest negotiation in Southern Gwynedd after Tywyn. The community consists of Penmaenpool. The name of the community is of unsure origin, although dôl is Welsh for "field" or "dale", and also (y) gelli (soft mutation of celli) indicates "grove" or "spinney", and also is common locally in names for farms in sheltered spaces. This would appear to be the most likely derivation, providing the translation "Grove Meadow". It has actually additionally been recommended that the name could derive from words cell, implying "cell", translating therefore as "Meadow of [monks'] cells", however this seems much less most likely taking into consideration the background of the name. The earliest taped punctuation (from 1253, in the Study of Merioneth) is "Dolkelew", although a punctuation "Dolgethley" days from 1285. From after that until the 19th century, the majority of spellings were along the lines of "Dôlgelly" "Dolgelley", "Dolgelly" or "Dolgelli" (Owain Glyndwr's scribe composed "Dolguelli"). Thomas Pennant made use of the type "Dolgelleu" in his Tours of Wales, and also this was the kind utilized in the Church Registers in 1723, although it never had much currency. In 1825 the Registers had "Dolgellau", which develop Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt embraced in 1836. While this type might originate from a false etymology, it came to be common in Welsh and is currently the common type in both Welsh as well as English. It was adopted as the main name by the neighborhood rural district council in 1958. Soon before the closure of the town's railway station it displayed indicators reviewing otherwise Dolgelly, Dolgelley and Dolgellau.
