Etymology of Iorwerth

edit

I would just like to point out that the derivation currently given in the article: 'composed of two elements: iôr meaning "lord" and berth meaning "fair", "fine", or "handsome" (1)' is not that given at the reference source (http://www.behindthename.com/name/iorwerth) which says: 'from Old Welsh ior "lord" and gwerth "value, worth".' Which, given the usual rules for Welsh mutation, looks more likely if less flattering to Iorwerths. It is of course possible that the source has changed its mind since the Wikipedia page was written. 86.178.128.192 (talk) 20:46, 12 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
