Re: [welsh question]
John, in it's various forms (Ieuan, amongst other things, in Wales) is a pretty common first name, and traditionally, the surname Jones meant 'Son of John'. I would imagine that welsh people were at some time known as 'Ieuans', and over time it has been anglicised.

Your use of semi-colons as parentheses is, to say the least, interesting.
