Is there a book/website that lists recorded Old Welsh personal names (and ideally suggests etymologies for them as well)? #medievaltwitter

This is all so useful! So my next Q is did OW do metathesis? Eg. is deuterotheme of Rhydderch same el. as monothematic Drych?
-
Some examples come to mind (e.g. Urddawl prob reflecting Uthrawl, Arthwys/Athrwys), but don't think that's one...
-
Care to hazard a guess at what -derch might represent in this case? (It's not crucial for what I'm writing bc of Drych, just intrigued now!)
-
iirc, 'exalted' or similar :)
-
Fabulous, thanks for all your help!
-
No problem! :-)
