Welldon

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Gaelic

Meaning: Well-hill; Hill near a spring

A placename, surname, and given name, Welldon is versatile and leaves room for baby to leave their own mark on it. Of Old English origin, it comes from the words well and dūn, meaning “well hill” or “hill near a spring.” Also spelled as Weldon, it can be traced back to the 10th century or the 14th century when the moniker made its way to Ireland and became Gaelicized as de Bhéalatún. Typically masculine, Welldon is a wonderful choice that will surely help in keeping baby connected to their English heritage.
