Origin: Welsh

Meaning: Handsome lord

Derived from the Welsh Iorwerth, Yorath is a boy’s name meaning “handsome lord.” It’s accepted as an equivalent of Edward, even though they do not share a common origin, nor is one name a translation of the other. In Welsh history, Iorwerth is borne by many poets and rulers, including the 13th-century Prince of Wales, lending the moniker a certain romance and old-world charm. Whether you are looking to pay homage to your Celtic heritage or you simply want to take a moment to appreciate baby’s beauty, Yorath is a moniker that does not disappoint!
