 Grŵp Hanes Deganwy / History of Deganwy Group

 

Deganwy comes from the name of a British tribe, Decantae, which is referred to as Dygant in medieval Welsh texts and the territorial suffix -wy (land belonging to).

 

Deganwy would have originally referred to the area surrounding their hill-fort and castle. Degannwy is the spelling advocated on linguistic grounds but Deganwy is the form in modern usage.
