Super cool! Thanks for chiming in on the word nerdery. It makes sense that there are more Welsh to English words and place names out there. Though still strikingly few! Looking up “Thames” it’s interesting it seems to have come through Latin between the Celtic language and English.
Hi Becca! On the subject of English words with Celtic roots I know of one other - the River Tame which flows through Birmingham. This is according to a Birmingham history pamphlet that I read once. So I head to wikipedia to make sure I am not misremembering and it suggests that the larger English rivers the Thames and the Tamar share the same Celtic root
