Mon Merouac


    1. Môn
      'Isle of Mona' | Ynys Fon, Ynys Mon

      The Welsh name for Anglesey.

      Mon probably derives from the Greek monos, which means 'alone', 'left alone', 'standing alone'. The island of Anglesey were probably called 'Isle of Mona' because it was separated by sea from the countis of North Wales.

      Isle of Mona and the Isle of Man derive their names from mon, which means what is isolated, separate. After the battle of Llanvaes, and Egbert was victorious over Merddyn, the English name was bestowed upon it. In 818 or 819 Mona was subdued by the Saxon king and called it Anglesey, or the Isle of the Angles, or English. In the twelfth century it assumed the title of Mon, mam Cymru, 'Mona, the mother of Wales'.
