It will be for her first home, EVER.

It is a sweet little Victorian cottage in upstate New York. Her name is Mary, her daughter is named Siobhan.

Mary is calling her new home "ABUNDANCE."

As her heritage is Irish, I am considering getting her a sign for the outside of her home, for on her porch or door, that says ABUNDANCE, or WELCOME TO ABUNDANCE.

I used a free translation site that gave me this info:

amlder, amldra, cyflawnder, cyfor,
ddigonedd, ddigonolrwydd, doraeth,
doreth, gyflawnder,

meaning.....................

abundance , abundance , fullness , flood ,
abundance , sufficiency , abundance ,
abundance , fullness ,

Has anyone some suggestions for a true translation, now that you know what it's for?

I think it will inscribed be on this sign:

Thanks, and blessings!

Are you sure she is not Welsh? These words you quoted are definitely not Irish!
