All over the world, Welsch (Welsh , Welsch , ウェルシュ) is a rare dominantly boy's, but uncommonly female forename. The forename Welsch is characteristic of South Africa, where it is a rare male name, the United Kingdom, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name, and the United States, where it is an extremely rare mostly male, but infrequently female name. Predominantly, Welsch is the last name as well as the forename.
Welsch is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Welsh Herald/Tempter , the operatic character in the opera The Martyrdom of St Magnus by Peter Maxwell Davies.
