[edit]

There is no ridge at Cefn Einion. There is no reason at all for a place to be named after a man's [Einion's] back. However, the Welsh word cefn (a hill which slopes gently on one side and falls steeply on the other), perfectly describes the hill on which the village stands and from which it's name is taken.

Thank you for fixing the article :-) Regards --Commander Keane (talk) 01:21, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cefn Einion in Welsh is Anvil Ridge. Cefn is a ridge and Einion is an anvil. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.3.177.211 (talk) 19:50, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd add that "a hill which slopes gently on one side and falls steeply on the other" is usually rendered as a "ridge" (or perhaps an "edge", dialectically speaking) in English. Hence "Cefn" is always translated as "ridge".Svejk74 (talk) 18:52, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
