Rejected petition Keep the name Wales as the name of our Country.

Why change the name of our country to Cymru as it is very little known outside of our Country.

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue, or if the Petitions Committee has considered one in the last year.

Another petition calling for this is already collecting signatures:
Keep the name 'Wales' and not waste any more taxpayers money on pointless exercises.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of the Senedd. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
