Afon Cegin Arthur

“River of Arthur’s Kitchen”

The name of a Welsh river, whose name in English means “the River of Arthur’s Kitchen.” It is not associated with a specific, well-known river in reality, it is more of a symbolic or legendary name within the context of Arthurian folklore.

The word afon, “a river,” comes probably from the Celtic awon, which means “the moving water.”
