# Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/Welsh
## Usage note

Most Welsh use an English, Scottish or Irish name. However, there are also some Welsh names that are still in use. Some, such as Evan, are still quite common. The Welsh get by with a pretty small collection of surnames among them.
[Note - names ending in 'wen' are feminine, 'wyn' is masculine.]
