Welwyn
Welwyn (population 8,425) is a village and also civil parish in Hertfordshire, England. The parish also consists of the villages of Digswell as well as Oaklands. It is sometimes called Old Welwyn to differentiate it from the much newer settlement of Welwyn Garden City, regarding a mile to the south, though some citizens do not like the suggestion of inability or irrelevance that tends to be implied by the moniker "Old" and like Welwyn Town. When saying where they live, citizens will typically be asked, 'Welwyn or Welwyn Garden City?', as the latter's title is often shortened to merely Welwyn. To stay clear of confusion, there were strategies to change Welwyn's name to 'Welwyn Minster' in 1990 yet this met with local resistance and also the idea was deserted. The name is stemmed from Old English welig meaning "willow", referring to the trees that nestle on the financial institutions of the River Mimram as it flows via the village. The name itself is a development from weligun, the dative form of the word, and so is much more exactly converted as "at the willows", unlike nearby Willian which is likely to indicate just "the willows". Through having its name derived from welig rather than sealh (the a lot more generally pointed out 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 an origin with welig. The close-by contemporary town of Digswell (around Welwyn North train station) was initially called 'High Welwyn' when very first developed at the start of the 20th century.
