The name Wales comes from the Cymraeg word Gwalia, meaning in English "Homeland". It later became Latinized as Walia, then by the Normans to something like Wal-es....then Wales.

"That the Welsh are actually all English !!! When England was invaded by the Normans / Vikings in the East all the English fled to the West and settled there. This later became Wales hence the Welsh are all English !!!
"
Nah....
Britain was populated with tribes of Celts, and when the Normans (correctly pointed out to be of viking decent) invaded, these tribes were pushed west (Wales), south west (Cornwall), and north (Scotland). The Irish island hopped up the west coast, invaded Scotland and pretty much wiped out the Celts there, the Cornish were assimilated into "English" culture, only the Welsh remained pure (ish lol). The "English" came about from the mixing of the Normans and the other European "immigrants" of the time, so anyone claiming to be English has a "mongrel" pedigree lol!
After the campaigns (in the 1400's) of the last man to have any claim to the throne of Wales, Owain Glyndwr, such was the reputation for the fearlessness and loyalty of Welsh warriors that many royal families of Europe employed Welsh bodyguards. |

I thought it came from the word "walesa" meaning "stranger", given by the first Romans to fight against the Celts, who, some historians claim, had no word for "surrender" in old welsh. |
