Cymreiges is Welsh in Origin.

Cymreiges is a rare Welsh feminine given name drawn from the ethnonymic/adjectival stem Cymreig “Welsh, of Wales” with the feminine suffix -es, yielding a noun meaning “Welshwoman.” It sits alongside the modern standard Cymraes as the usual demonym for a woman from Wales. The root ultimately goes back to Brittonic *kom-brog- “fellow country(wo)man,” which also produced Cymru “Wales” and Cymry “the Welsh.”

As a personal name, Cymreiges appears sporadically in modern times among families affirming Welsh heritage and language revival; earlier occurrences are largely descriptive or literary rather than in baptismal records, with spelling varying between Cymreiges and Cymraes. Related or counterpart forms include Cymraes (preferred modern form), Cymro (masculine), Cymreig (adjectival “Welsh”), and Cymraeg (the Welsh language). The name carries the straightforward sense “Welshwoman” or “woman of Wales,” often interpreted more broadly as “the Welsh one,” a concise statement of cultural identity.
