Etymology edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Sorry, my last edit summary was perhaps less than clear.

The "rhyd" element of course means "ford".

Obviously the stream came first, and then the ford.

The hamlet, if there is one, is likely to have come after the ford and to have been named for it.

Thus whether or not there is said to be a hamlet, the etymology of the station name arises from the ford and hence from the stream.---Ehrenkater (talk) 11:12, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Rhydyronen means Ash-ford - this can be verified in several books (I don't have them to hand at the moment). The question is when the neame was applied to the stream - before or after the hamlet. Unless someone has published research into this, it can only be speculation and therefore original research. It's only tangential to the station anyway, and therefore should be removed IMO. — O Still Small Voice of Clam 12:40, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
