Gwyddelwern
Gwyddelwern is a small village and community of 508 residents,〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Denbighshire'' ) Retrieved 14 January 2010〕 reducing to 500 at the 2011 census, situated approximately north of Corwen in Denbighshire in Wales. Historically the village was part of the Edeyrnion district of Meirionnydd. Edeyrnion was part of the Glyndŵr district of Clwyd from 1974 to 1996, when the area became part of the principal area of Denbighshire. The village straddles the A494 road (trunk road). ==Etymology== The name is often "poetically", but incorrectly, translated as ''The Irishman's Alder Grove''. ''Gwyddel'' being ''Irishman'', ''wern'' usually referring to a ''damp'' or ''swampy area'' arising from run-off from surrounding hills. However, the name is derived from ''gwyddeli'', meaning ''thickets'', hence the correct translation would be ''alder marsh in the thickets''.〔Dictionary of the Place-names of Wales, Hywel Wyn Owen & Richard Morgan〕 In colloquial speech the village is often referred to simply as Gwyddel.
