That the first Welsh place name I've ever seen in America. And with good reason, Welsh place names are horrific. There's a village in Wales named Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
I typed that from memory, I didn't cut and paste it. And that honest-to-goodness is a real village name.
And I'm not lying neither (except about the 'typed from memory' part).
I lived briefly in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, home to the (formerly) prestigious Bryn Mawr College. I was a pocket of poverty in a sea of affluence.

Quadruple word score bonus points.
This is probbly named after the Eastern PA one. Also a Bala Cynwyd in PA.
While they can’t match the monster you have shown us, there are quite a few Welsh place names in Pennsylvania. Here are a few:
Bala Cynwyd — named for Bala (Gwynedd) and Cynwyd (Denbighshire)
Bryn Mawr — “great hill”; named for an estate near Dolgellau belonging to Quaker Rowland Ellis
Narberth — after Narberth, Pembrokeshire
Lower Gwynedd and Upper Gwynedd Townships / North Wales — after the historic region of Gwynedd
Penllyn — “head of the lake”
Tredyffrin Township — Welsh-formed name meaning roughly “town in the valley”
Uwchlan Township — “above the lake/valley”
