Owen says, that Gwythel, the adjective from the same root, signifies ‘of the woods, sylvan, savage;’ that the term is synonymous with Celt and Ysgotiad, one who led a wandering life in the covert of the forest, in contradistinction to Gal or one who dwelt in the open cultivated fields; that Gwythel is the general term in Welsh for a native of Ireland; and that there is a tradition that the first inhabitants of Wales were called Gwythelians. This approximates the etymology of Whitaker very closely with that which I have adduced.
