Dolgellau
Dolgellau is a market community and also community in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, lying on the River Wnion, a tributary of the River Mawddach. It is traditionally the county town of the historical region of Merionethshire (Welsh: Meirionnydd, Sir Feirionnydd), which lost its management standing when Gwynedd was developed in 1974. Dolgellau is the primary base for climbers of Cadair Idris. Although very tiny, it is the 2nd biggest settlement in Southern Gwynedd after Tywyn. The area consists of Penmaenpool. The name of the town is of unpredictable beginning, although dôl is Welsh for "meadow" or "dale", and also (y) gelli (soft mutation of celli) implies "grove" or "spinney", and also prevails in your area in names for farms in sheltered nooks. This would certainly seem to be one of the most likely derivation, providing the translation "Grove Meadow". It has likewise been suggested that the name can stem from words cell, indicating "cell", equating therefore as "Meadow of [monks'] cells", however this appears much less likely considering the history of the name. The earliest taped punctuation (from 1253, in the Study of Merioneth) is "Dolkelew", although a punctuation "Dolgethley" dates from 1285. From after that till the 19th century, the majority of punctuations were along the lines of "Dôlgelly" "Dolgelley", "Dolgelly" or "Dolgelli" (Owain Glyndwr's scribe composed "Dolguelli"). Thomas Pennant used the type "Dolgelleu" in his Tours of Wales, and also this was the type used in the Church Registers in 1723, although it never had much money. In 1825 the Registers had "Dolgellau", which form Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt adopted in 1836. While this form may stem from an incorrect etymology, it came to be standard in Welsh and is now the typical form in both Welsh as well as English. It was taken on as the official name by the local rural area council in 1958. Quickly prior to the closure of the town's railway station it showed indications reviewing variously Dolgelly, Dolgelley and also Dolgellau.
