Etymology of MOEL

The word "moel" has different meanings depending on the language and context.

In Welsh, "moel" means "bald" or "bare" and is commonly used in the names of mountains or hills, such as Moel Siabod, Moel Famau, or Moel Hebog.

The etymology of the Welsh word "moel" can be traced back to the Proto-Celtic word *māyalos, which means "bald" or "bare". This word derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *mai- meaning "to cut" or "to shave". Over time, the meaning of "moel" evolved to refer to mountains or hills with a bare or bald appearance, possibly due to factors like rocky terrain or lack of vegetation.

It's worth noting that "moel" is also used in other languages with different meanings.
