Welsh Genealogy & History
Welsh is an Irish and Scottish surname derived from Old English "waelisc", meaning foreigner or stranger. An alternative derivation is an anglicization of the Irish "breathnach." The Germanic Anglo-Saxons so described the Romanic people they conquered, with reference to specifically the Welsh evolving during the Middle Ages. Welsh genealogy likely traces back to brothers David and Philip Brenagh, who invaded Ireland with Strongbow in 1171, with descendants being landed gentry in Kilkenny and Leix. Welsh name variations include Brannagh, Walch, Walshman, and Wellish, with Walsh and Welch in particular being interchangeable. Their motto, "transfixus sed non mortuus", means "transfixed but not dead". American Welsh family history dates to the 1630s in Virginia.
