Price: The Journey of a Welsh Surname

from $85.00

Is your last name Price—or do you simply love the stories hidden in our names? Behind this seemingly common surname lies a legacy as rich and unique as Wales itself.

At its heart, the name Price comes from ap Rhys—“son of Rhys”—a transformation born in the 16th century when Welsh families were compelled to adopt surnames. Rooted in the ancient name Rhys, meaning “ardour” or “prince,” Price carries echoes of legendary rulers who defied empires and safeguarded their people.

Price: The Journey of a Welsh Surname is more than a history—it’s a portal into lives and landscapes that stretch from medieval Wales to the coalfields of the Industrial Revolution, and across oceans to the Americas, Australia, and beyond. Along the way, the name found new meaning, including adoption among African American families after emancipation, adding yet another layer of resilience and renewal to its story.

This Ancestrio edition stands beautifully on its own as a meaningful gift or captivating read, but it also invites you to continue the journey. Personalize your book with family chapters, photographs, and a custom cover—transforming it into a timeless heirloom that merges your family’s living history with centuries of Welsh legacy.

Price is not just a surname. It’s a living chronicle of endurance, adaptation, and pride—an invitation to discover your own place in a story that spans the globe.
