And Sra, don't patronize me with a Google search.

I recommend that you read this excerpt from a book on that subject (or get the book):

Sorry, that was not meant to be patronizing at all, but simply to show you places to look. From the Celtic Mythology book, did you see the following:

Uffern [cf. L infernum, hell]. Name for the Welsh Otherworld in the Latin texts of Walter Map (c.1140–c.1209) and Giraldus Cambrensis (c.1146–1223); a semantic dismissal showing unmistakable Christian influence. Uffern has become the Welsh word for the Christian hell. See also ANNWFN.
