Jones is a surname of Welsh and English origin meaning "son of John". The surname is common in Wales.

Welch is a surname that comes from the Old English word welisċ, meaning ‘foreign’ (from walhaz).. It was used to describe those of Celtic or Welsh origin. Welch and another common surname, Walsh, share this derivation.

The name is often pronounced "Welsh" in the south and west of the country. [2] In Great Britain, Guppy encountered the name only in Lancashire. [1] It is the surname of the Barons Ormathwaite. [1]

In the United Kingdom Lewis is most commonly associated with Wales, and is a common Welsh Patronym. The name developed as an Anglicised or diminutive form of native Welsh names such as Llywelyn.
