They may very well be. I'm profoundly ignorant (not proud, just ignorant) of the Gaelic and Welsh languages.
A gentle at Moonschadowe Guardian requested of me a pronunciation of each. I merely assumed they were Gaelic.
I shall contact her and request the sources of these names.
In service,

Offhand those look more likely to be anglicized Welsh; where were they
found?
