Welwyn
Welwyn (population 8,425) is a village and also civil parish in Hertfordshire, England. The parish likewise includes the villages of Digswell as well as Oaklands. It is in some cases called Old Welwyn to distinguish it from the much newer negotiation of Welwyn Garden City, concerning a mile to the south, though some residents do not like the recommendation of inability or irrelevance that often tends to be suggested by the moniker "Old" as well as prefer Welwyn Village. When saying where they live, locals will often be asked, 'Welwyn or Welwyn Garden City?', as the latter's title is commonly shortened to just Welwyn. To prevent confusion, there were plans to change Welwyn's name to 'Welwyn Minster' in 1990 yet this met with local resistance and the suggestion was abandoned. The name is stemmed from Old English welig meaning "willow", describing the trees that snuggle on the banks of the River Mimram as it moves with the town. The name itself is a development from weligun, the dative type of words, therefore is much more specifically converted as "at the willows", unlike close-by Willian which is most likely to imply merely "the willows". With having its name originated from welig as opposed to sealh (the a lot more frequently cited Old English word for willow), Welwyn is potentially cognate with Heligan in Cornwall whose name is derived from helygen, the Cornish word for willow that shares a root with welig. The close-by modern-day village of Digswell (around Welwyn North train station) was initially called 'High Welwyn' when first established at the start of the 20th century.
