Help[Facts] Re: Pronunciation of Welsh name Carys
in reply to a message by space cadet
They're only spelled 'oddly' to us English-origin folk, for the simple reason that they're *not* English. Traditional Welsh, Irish and Scottish names come from their respective Celtic languages - Welsh, Irish Gaelic, Scots Gaelic. English doesn't even have letters for some of the sounds used in these languages, and the adapted spellings thus appear very strange to English eyes.
