Abstract
This paper gives a new reading of an Old Welsh personal name from the Book of St Chad, arguing that the same name might occur in Gerald of Wales's list of bishops and archbishops of St Davids. Possible etymologies are discussed, and the relationship of these Welsh names with an early medieval Breton personal name is considered. This entails a clarification of the development of intervocal /b m/ in the Brittonic languages.
