It helps a bit with placenames to know how they are made up. Take Rhosllanerchrugog. Rhos is a moor - llanerch is a clearing- and I've no idea what rugog means, but at least I can dissect the word into pronounceable bits.

Llanerchymedd I love, though it's not a very beautiful place now, it started out as "Honey Glade".
