Leckwith
Leckwith ((ウェールズ語:Lecwydd)) is a small village in the Vale of Glamorgan, just west of Cardiff. Historically, the parish of Leckwith also included land on the east side of the river Ely that is now part of Cardiff itself. This area is also commonly known as Leckwith.
==Etymology==
The name ''Leckwith'' is an anglicisation of the Welsh ''Lecwydd'', with the common replacement of Welsh <-dd> by English <-th> (as in ''Gruffudd''>''Griffith''). ''Lecwydd'' probably derives from the personal name ''Helygwydd'' (possibly the name of a local holy man or Welsh saint). The change from <-gw-> to <-cw-> may be compared to that in the personal name ''Tecwyn'' (<''Tegwyn'').〔Gwynedd O. Pierce, ''The Place-names of Dinas Powys Hundred''. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 1968 ISBN 0-7083-0338-2, pp. 49–52.〕
Since at least the nineteenth century ''Lecwydd'' sometimes appears in Welsh as ''Llechwydd'' or ''Llechwedd''. These forms have been linked to the common Welsh noun ''llechwedd'' (hillside, slope), which has been taken to refer to Leckwith Woods, which rise up steeply from the river Ely.〔For example, Samuel Lewis, ''(A Topographical Dictionary of Wales )'', vol. 2 (London, 1840). See also Owen Jones, ''Cymru: Yn Hanesyddol, Parthedegol a Bywgraphyddol'' (London: Blackie & Son, 1875), p. 188.〕 Linguistically, however, there is no relationship between ''Lecwydd'' and ''llechwedd'', and the connection is probably a result of folk etymology. This explanation of the name ''Lecwydd'' is still sometimes seen, however.〔Cardiff Council, (''Ely Valley Cross Boundary Walks: Trelai Park to Leckwith Woods'' ).〕
