mmmm, fascinating stuff, Jackie - and the 'map' or 'mab' also gest changed in another way - not just shortened to 'ap', as in Elin ap Gwynedd, but also mutated to 'fab', as in 'Dewi James ai fab' (and sons).
Not entirely spoiled for me to realise it was aptually a different village of the same name, but!
edit:
> But, of all the European male names, John is the most common. Welsh, like Latin had no 'J,' so John came to us originally in the form of Ieuan...
Not only that but James is rendered in Welsh as Iago, like in Santiago...
