Diolch yn fawr i’r ddau ohonoch.

 

Ydy, David, wi’n credu taw ‘pant’ yw’r ystyr fan hyn. Wi’n credu bod e’n ddigon saff (ac yn edrych yn well i’m llygaid fi) i’w newid i ‘Cwmynyscou’.

Ac mae Cwm-cou y tu allan i Gastellnewydd Emlyn. ‘Cou’ yw’r ynganiad lleol am ‘cau’, sef rhywbeth gwag, rhywbeth â thwll yn ei ganol, e.e. taten sy’n wag yn y canol.

'Cou' ('cau') yn golygu pant sy yma, ife?

 

Roedd ardal a chapel Ynysgau ym Merthyr yn enwog iawn yn eu dydd - cyn i ganol y dre gael ei weddnewid yn y chwedegau.

Pentref bach yn Nhorfaen.

All unrhyw un awgrymu tarddiad yr enw hwn? Rwy'n trio darganfod a yw'r 'y' ar 
y diwedd yn llygriad o fersiwn Cymraeg cynharach neu beidio.

Yr unig enw tebyg ar le rwy'n gallu ei weld yw pentref yn Sir Fynwy - Cwm-iou 
yn Gymraeg ('Cwmyoy' yn Saesneg), sy'n tarddu o siâp y cwm, sydd ar ffurf 
afu/iau.

Tybed a oes tarddiad tebyg i Gwmynyscoy? Unrhyw syniadau?
