Welsh means someone, or something that has originated from Wales.

Either a person, object or the Welsh language.

The Germanic Angles and Saxons were invited to England to help fight the Jutes (Danish) who were at that time invading England. When they arrived to help and consequently invade England, their word for the locals (Celtic-speakers) was "Waelisc" meaning "foreigner" and their word for the land was "Wēalas",meaning "foreign".

The verb 'to welsh' means to swindle a person by not paying a debt or wager; to fail to fulfill an obligation.

For most Welsh people, being Welsh brings a tremendous sense of pride. All Welsh people are great singers!
