Recommended place-names in Snowdonia

The Eryri National Park Authority (previously Snowdonia NPA) has recommended the use of some Welsh place-names, particularly for geographic features, such as lakes, which it is to use when referring to features in Snowdonia (in Wales), which the authority refers to by its Welsh name Eryri.

Most place-names in Snowdonia (Eryri) are of Welsh origin, with some of them having connections to Welsh folklore.^[1] However, a few recent private name-changes from Welsh into English have inspired a campaign to rename places in the region with English place-names or anglicisations to their Welsh names instead, to allow the promotion of the Welsh language and culture. Standardisation of Welsh place names was also conducted, choosing a preferred Welsh form over multiple versions.
