   Are Welsh surnames based on a common ancestor?

   • As most Welsh surnames are derived from patronymics and often based on a small set of first names, Welsh communities have families bearing the same surnames who are not related. It cannot be assumed that two people named Jones, even in the same village, must have inherited the surname from a common ancestor. The stock of Welsh surnames is small.
