The original publication was prompted by an invitation from Ned Thomas, Director of the University of Wales Press in 1998, to consider writing a selective reference book on place-names of Wales within the Pocket Guide series. In 2014 the UWP considered that an enlarged, updated revision would be appropriate. I am grateful to Catherine Jenkins for her patience, support and advice, to Leah Jenkins for her painstaking editing and to Steven Goundrey for leading me through the final stages of publication.
Over the years, three scholars whose advice I have sought and unstintingly received are Gwynedd Pierce, Richard Morgan and the late Tomos Roberts, who have provided invaluable help from their own unrivalled knowledge of place-names in Wales.
My conscience dictates that I declare my appreciation of my wifes remarkable forbearance, to the extent of sharing a summer holiday with this book. My daughter patiently advised me in what were, to me, the mysterious intricacies of editing text. I am grateful to both.
