She told me many delightful stories, but one of the most fascinating things was the names. Sometimes, they are spelled differently yet pronounced just like the popular English names. Needless to say, I asked her to help me make a list of Welsh cat names!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;d been planning on getting myself a new kitty for a long time, and thinking about the name for weeks now. But when she came back from the trip and told me all the beautiful names she&rsquo;s heard there, I knew I&rsquo;d definitely use one of them to name my new fluffy roommate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With her help, I made this list of the most interesting Welsh names with their meanings, and I&rsquo;m sure they are all great options to name your new cat. The most important thing to keep in mind while choosing the name is your fluffball&rsquo;s personality, and that&rsquo;s exactly why I chose to write the meanings of the names too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I promise you, you&rsquo;re in for a treat! So, grab that notepad and jot down your favorites first. Trust me, once you&rsquo;ve narrowed them all down to a shortlist, it will be easier for you to choose the purrfect one! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-welsh-cat-names-with-meanings\">Welsh cat names with meanings<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"855\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With-1280x855.jpg\" alt=\"55+ Welsh Cat Names You're Going To Fall In Love With\" class=\"wp-image-26036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With-1280x855.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"855\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201280%20855'%3E%3Crect%20width='1280'%20height='855'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"55+ Welsh Cat Names You're Going To Fall In Love With\" class=\"wp-image-26036 eager-load\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With-1280x855.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With-1280x855.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/55-Welsh-Cat-Names-Youre-Going-To-Fall-In-Love-With.jpg 924w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When a country has a rich history just like Wales does, its most popular names always have beautiful stories behind them.
