What nationality is the last name 'Price'?

Question

What about the last name 'Welsh'?

Answer 1

The name is Welsh. Originally the Welsh didn't use surnames: they were known as the son or daughter of their father. For example, Iolo, the son of Rhys would be known as Iolo ap Rhys and his daughter Rhiannon as Rhiannon Rhys. When the English conquered the Welsh and wanted to collect taxes from them, thy didn't like this custom, so insisted that the Welsh should have surnames, as the English did. That was how someone like Iolo ap Rhys would find himself adopting the surname "Prys", which later evolved into Price. A lot of Welsh surnames, on close inspection, are an ordinary first name with a "p" or "b" in front of it -- eg. Bevan, Pugh, Pritchard.

Answer 3

Both Price and Welsh are English names I think

Answer 4

I'm a "Price" to. I think it's just one of those traditional English surnames like Smith or Brown. I like to think it's not as common as Smiths, Browns etc...
The Welsh equivalent is spelt with a "Y" Such as the actors Johnathan Pryce and the 70's horror actor, Vincent Pryce, at least I think the latter was spelt the Welsh way.
