Anyone speak Welsh?

I'm trying to find if "Guliemus" is translated into "William".

The International Genealogical Index includes it with all the "William's"

Bram...

Ponder!!!. You're wanted Boyo!!

Ponder...

I'm from Cardiff, my knowledge of the Welsh language is rather limited ;)

pmj...

My Sister moved to Wales (before she moved to Argentina) & learned
the Welsh Language (& married a Welshman).

Pam the goose...

ROFL
Ponder only speaks English!

Ponder...

Bulls**t and boll**ks too ;)

I'll ring her up & ask her.

(though I see Anita has also confirmed what you suspected)

jamps...

You really are a fount of all knowledge pmj. I may get somewhere with this

pmj...

Nope.

When it comes to Wales (& Welsh speaking), it's my *Sister* who
is the "Fount of all knowledge", so to speak.

She has always specialised in Languages, so when she learned Welsh,
she didn't just "learn Welsh", she actuall yspoke it on a daily basis
& learned *how* (& *why*) the Welsh words are what they are.

She moved to Patagonia (in Argentina), partly cos there's a
Welsh "Ex-Pat" Community out there.

Now she works as a (Freelance) Translator, for Spanish, English,
American, Welsh (& Tehuelche, which is the Native Indian Language
around where she is) etc.

pmj...

Yep! If you get stuck with anything Welsh Post up!
:-)

jamps...

lol Can you cope with more questions from me?

Anita Carter...

Just ask - there is always somebody in here that can help :))

new knowledge now!

Tickettyboo...

Possibly an early form of the Welsh name Gwilym ? , which is related to
the name William, as are lots of others

Anita Carter...

Yes it is, Jamps :)

jamps...

Thank you Anita. I've been stuck with this one for about 12 months!

Anita Carter...

Oh that is a shame, Jamps - I have a friend who lives in Wales - so asked

jamps...

Could you also ask her if "Johannis" is "John" please

Anita Carter...

Yes, Jamps it is - as is Johannes too :)

jamps...

Thank you Anita. I might get somewhere now! @-)

her:)

Anita Carter...

Actually I believe that Guliemus was in fact Latin :)

Ali...

as was Johannes (Ioannes in classical Latin).

Apparently a great deal of Welsh is Latin with the spelling changed to fit

Paul Jeffree...

Like "Telle-viszon"?

Welsh phonetics.

jamps...

Oh Gord - please don't make me find my ancesters speak Latin. :-)

Anita Carter...

No, it is also used as William in welsh - but it comes from the Latin - as
does a lot of our English names too :)

jamps...

That's a relief! Don't stand a chance with Latin. :-)
