Morfa

Morfa is a Welsh toponym used for several places in Wales. The term is of Welsh origin and is commonly interpreted as meaning shore, coast, or sea-bank. In place names, Morfa typically denotes a coastal setting, a beach area, or a marshy coastline. While the name appears across Wales, it is especially associated with coastal localities in Gwynedd, though it occurs in other regions as well.

Notable places named Morfa include:

- Morfa Nefyn, a coastal village on the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, known for its beaches and seaside scenery.

- Morfa Bychan, a seaside village near Pwllheli on the Llŷn Peninsula, renowned for its sandy beach at Black Rock Sands.

- Morfa, a district in Swansea, Wales, located near the River Tawe and tied to the area’s maritime heritage.

Beyond these, Morfa appears in multiple smaller settlements and as district names within towns throughout Wales. The toponym’s recurrence reflects historical patterns of settlement along coasts, river mouths, and marshy shores.
