Although many names of Welsh origin have been anglicised locally (in pronunciation, spelling, or both), the local pronunciation of Ponthir is similar to how a Welsh speaker would say it. It is always pronounced 'pont-here', with the t and h separate, and never as the th in panther. Ponthir means long bridge (literally bridge long).
