Very interesting about the limited number of surnames and how the patronymic system works.
https://www.mymcpl.org/blogs/what-are-you-calling-yourself-these-days-early-welsh-naming-system
until about 1750 or so, Wales used a patronymic system (where a name is derived from the name of a father with an addition of a prefix or suffix). In the Welsh naming system, a child was given the father’s “given” name as a last name. For example, Owen Powell has a son named John. Ap or ab, meaning “son of,” would be attached, making the son’s name John ab Owen. Sometimes the prefix was dropped, and the name would be John Owen or Owens, using the “s” to signify “son of.” All of the children in the family may not use the same last name. For example, Owen Powell may have a daughter by the name of Joan Powell. This led to a narrow range of Welsh surnames, including Jones, Davies/Davis, Williams, Hughes, etc.

1573 Plaintiff John Howell sued defendant Henry Howell in Chancery in a case cataloged as, "Subject: Claim as heir. The manor of Westbury, and lands thereto belonging, in the parish of Marsh Gubbyon [Marsh Gibbon], Buckinghamshire, purchased by William Howell, plaintiff's father, and by him settled to several uses. Date: Between 1558 and 1603." [1] George Roger Howell dates the case as 1573 and abstracts it as, [2]
From Chancery B. and A. Elizabeth. H. h. 20, No. 27, A.D. 1573: Bill of complaint by John Howell of Wedon, Co. Bucks, "that whereas William Howell his father, also of Wedon, deceased, purchased the manor of Westbury lying in Marsh Gibbon in the said county." The pedigree of the family is then given. William and his wife Maud had issue—John the elder, and John the younger (the plaintiff). Maud died, and William then married Anne Dyer, [Footnote: Defendant says her name was Anne Hampton.] and had issue, Henry Howell (the defendant). William died seized of the premises, and John the elder succeeded him. John dying without issue, the same ought to have descended to the plaintiff, John the younger, as second son and heir of William and Maud. But Henry Howell, having the custody of all the deeds, etc., relating to the estate, has entered into possession, claiming them to be his inheritance, and refuses to show whether the plaintiff is entitled or no.
Answer of the defendant, Henry Howell: He states that his father William by his will bequeathed his estate which he purchased of Sir Robert Dormer, Kt., to his eldest son and his heirs with remainder to Henry Howell, the defendant, and in default of such issue, remainder to his son Jacob Howell and his heirs. William Howell died, and Anne his wife (for term of six years only) and John the eldest son became possessed. John died without issue, and Anne continued the possession until the expiration of the said six years, when it came into the possession of the defendant.
