Morfudd is a Welsh name meaning "great gain" or "great treasure." It's pronounced MOR-vith, with the final sound soft like the "th" in "this." You may come across a claim that it means "sea modesty," but that comes from misreading the first part of the name as the Welsh word for sea (môr) when it's actually mawr, meaning "great."
