It translates to “The Mound”. There’s an old motte and Bailey castle from the Norman conquests which I guess is where it got the name. I guess that’s also where the English name came from, just corrupted over the centuries.

Holy fucking shit. How has my tiny Welsh town made it here? I live near Mold (Yr Wyddgrug in Welsh), AMA I guess
Btw, in England it’s spelt mould, as in black mould, phonetically it still works though
This site has a pretty good pronunciation https://historypoints.org/index.php?page=mold-place-names
