What's in a Name?
I have had several people ask me what does “cariadferch” mean and why did I choose it.
“Cariadferch” is Welsh. I am an American who is proud of her Welsh heritage, though I do not speak Cymric. I wanted a cool, exotic sounding name, so I got out my Welsh dictionary.
According to the “Welsh-English/English-Welsh Dictionary” by H. Meurig Evans “cariad” means “love,” “charity” or “lover.” While “cariadferch” means “lady-love” or “mistress.” I don't think it means “mistress” in the sense of “dominatrix,” but I do like the double entendre allusion in English of the good “lady-love” and the naughty “mistress.” Besides, “Mistress Cariad” sounds cool.
I have also been asked a few times if “Amy” is my real name. Let me say this, I am trying to be as upfront and honest on here without compromising my identity. “Amy” is a name that is near and dear to me.
Hwyl am rwan (bye for now),
