Overview

• The Snowdonia National Park Authority has officially adopted the Welsh names 'Eryri' for the park and 'Yr Wyddfa' for the mountain since November 2022.
• Surveys show strong local and visitor support for the use of Welsh names, enhancing the park's cultural identity.
• Challenges include pronunciation difficulties and some visitors' belief that the Welsh names are new.
• Proposals are in place to update the park's logo to align with the Welsh naming convention, removing the term 'Snowdonia'.
• The initiative is part of a broader movement to celebrate indigenous and native place names, aligning with the Welsh government's language promotion goals.
