Prendergast, Pembrokeshire
Prendergast is a former village and parish in Pembrokeshire, Wales, now a suburb of Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire's county town. The name survives as an electoral ward of Haverfordwest. The Western Cleddau forms the parish's western boundary, and the Hiog, a tributary of the Cleddau, the eastern boundary. Name The origin of the village's name is possibly linked to a family named Prendergast, whose earliest-known ancestor was Maurice, who was possibly a Cambro-Norman. However it is thought he himself may be named for the town, especially as the surname carries the affix of ''De''. The name could also very likely be Welsh in origin and either poorly rendered from its original form over time, or if originating as a surname; it may have been Anglicised in later records. Examples are a potentially Anglicised form of ''Bryn y Gest'' from the Welsh ''bryn'' meaning hill and ''gest'', a lenition of ''cest'' which means ''belly'' or ''swelling'' or ''a deep glen between two mountains havi ...
