Yes, one of the mildly frustrating things about being a researcher in historic Welsh naming practices is that an enormous percentage of the Welsh names popular today (especially feminine ones) are the functional equivalent of "hippie names", i.e., coined for their meaning in fairly recent times (last century, roughly). So the most common response I end up giving to people who ask about this history of Welsh Name X is "I am not aware of this being used as a given name prior to the 20th century." This is rarely the answer people are looking for.
