Ystrad Mynach etymology

In the Welsh language, mynach means “monk” in the form of ystrad. There is a lack of evidence for monks settling in the area. The word may have been the name of a tributary of the Rhymney River. It has been suggested that, rather than referring to a monastic institution, manach is manach.
