Hmmm... Reece is a popular name this side of the bridge, and James isn't Welsh. Try Wikipedia.

The surname James is much more popular in Wales than England .
The surname James comes from the personal name which has the same origin as Jacob (the Latin Jacobus). Jacobus and James appeared interchangeable in 13th century records.

However, James developed as a separate name in its own right, largely because in the authorized version of the Bible the form James was used in the New Testament as the name of two of Christ’s apostles (James the brother of John and James the brother of Andrew), whereas in the Old Testament the brother of Esau was called Jacob.

Most usually Rhys as a forename, Rees as a surname.

Not sure about forename's but in England it's usually spelt (surname) Reece and in Wales Rees (I am a Rees by the way)

Is Reece Welsh? If have thought it would be Rees


The name 'Rhys' is the original Welsh masculine form and is born by many ancient princes and royalty. It is undoubtedly masculine.

The variant names 'Reece', 'Reese', 'Rees' amongst others are anglicised versions of 'Rhys' which was due to the anglicisation of Wales during the Act of Union in the 1500's. English scribes who translated the names often spelt Rhys as it phonetically sounded. In Wales during the time, names were patronymic meaning that Rhys could both be a surname and a given name. A patronymic name is one that the given name for example Rhys ap Gruffydd (Rhys son of Griffith) would have come from his father for example Madog ap Rhys or Griffith ap Rhys (Griffith son of Rhys). The ancient Welsh used the name Rhys for hundreds of years as early as 1000 AD and even earlier.
During the Act of Union in the 1500's as family generations passed, as mentioned above, many Welsh families had the anglicised version of Rhys translated to 'Reece', 'Reese', 'Rees' amongst others. These would have been used as surnames and likely would have passed down through generations. Welsh families would have married into English families and eventually some families especially during the European colonisation of America after the 1600's and the British colonisation in the 1770's would have likely named their children with the English variants of 'Rhys'. It wasn't until the late 1900's that American families began naming their daughters Reese, Rees, Reece, Rhys.

Lionel sounds Welsh to me, especially if you spell it Llionel. Messi is from Argentina, who have a Welsh speaking area in Patagonia. Shame someone didn't look into it a few years ago.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

I would thought that 'Reece' was more Germanic than Celtic. Just a guess though.
