Appendix V
- Given names from the Llandav charters
Here I have not separated the names out by century, and I have grouped
together variant spellings of the same name. As usual, (g) indicates a
Latin genitive, (d) indicates a Latin dative, and a name in brackets is the
"standard" form for the sake of reference.
